Laura's Quick Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Submitted by DrGaellon

"This is an easy, healthy chili recipe that you can throw in the slow cooker and forget about all day. Great topped with low-fat Cheddar cheese, crushed corn chips, and a dollop of fat-free sour cream. I cut back some on the spice to suit my own taste, but you can add more chili powder, or use chopped tomatoes with chili."

This recipe was easy to make and delicious!! Since my family is not big on spicy food, I did not use as much spice as the recipe called for and it was enjoyed by all. I topped it with mexican mix cheese and sour cream. I look forward to having the leftovers for lunch this week!

My husband made this for us yesterday, and it was pretty tasty - a leaner twist on winter comfort food. He doubled the chili powder and red chile flakes, but I think it still needs some extra zip. I might add some finely diced jalapeno next time. We topped it with shredded cheese and had Mexican cornbread on the side. Yum!

This is the best chili ever!! I used low-sodium beans as well and it tasted wonderful. I will be cooking this all through the winter!
