Ingredients

  • 2 pounds 93/7 lean ground turkey
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin

Instructions

  • Add olive oil, onion and garlic to a large skillet and saute 3 to 4 minutes until slightly tender. Add ground turkey and cook until done, crumbly and brown. Drain any extra fat.
  • Add the meat mixture to the Crock Pot. Add the remaining ingredients starting with the water. Stir until blended.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or 6 to 8 hours on low.

Notes

Turkey choice: I use 93/7 turkey because it stays juicy. Lower or higher fat turkey works too, depending on what you prefer and have on hand.
Brown it well: Let the turkey get some color in the skillet before adding it to the crock pot. It adds lots of flavor.
Thicker chili: Cook it uncovered for the last 30 minutes if you’d like it thicker.
Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
