Turkey and Brown Rice Chili

Submitted by KittyKitty

"This is a slow cooker recipe. This is a lower-fat chili because it is made with ground turkey breast. Make sure that you are buying ground turkey BREAST and not ground turkey, which includes both light and dark meat and will be higher in fat. If you use ground beef instead of the turkey, you won't need the oil to cook it in."

I think this is great, best way to have brown rice. BUT I think next time I make it, it needs more heat! Any suggestions on which spice to add more of? Also, what if one was to substitute the onion for a packet of taco seasoning mix? I think this would advance the chili aspect of this quite a bit
