Low Carb Turkey Chowder

Submitted by Likkel

"I always enjoy making a turkey chowder after cooking a traditional turkey dinner, but now that I am eating low carb I needed to put together a low carb recipe instead of using my families favorite (#146880 Turkey Cheddar Corn Chowder). This one made me AND my family happy. Enjoy! (Makes about 12 1 cup servings) *To cook this in the crockpot throw all the ingrediets into the pot, except hold out the cheese and corn, adding them at the end and heating only until the cheese melts."
