Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Ground turkey and canned kidney beans combine in this easy slow-cooker turkey chili. A tomato base, plus cumin and garlic powder, supplies plenty of flavor, while jalapeño and chili powder bring on the heat.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans no-salt-added kidney beans, rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese and sliced red onion for serving

Directions

  1. Add turkey, onion, garlic and jalapeño to a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the turkey is browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Stir in kidney beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on Low until the flavors meld, about 4 hours. Serve topped with avocado, cheese and red onion, if desired.
