Turkey Chili

When it’s chilly outside, you must make chili inside. The best part about making chili for two people: it makes awesome left overs for days.

I recently received a slow cooker, which means I got to use my usual healthy turkey chili recipe but incorporate the ease of letting it cook for 6 hours, rather than watch it over the stove.

Turkey Chili

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 pound ground turkey 1 large onion, chopped 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 3/4 cups Chicken Broth 1 cup salsa 1 tablespoon sugar 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 (16 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

Directions

1. Slice the onion.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add turkey, onion, chili powder, cumin, black pepper and garlic powder. Cook until turkey is browned.

3. Place mixture in slow cooker, add broth, salsa, beans and corn (yes this all fit in a 3.5 ounce cooker, with an inch of room to spare.)

4. Cook on low for 6 hours.

I recommend serving with cornbread, I prefer the Krusteaz mix. My boyfriend recommends drenching your chili in hot sauce.
