Instructions
- Spray a slow-cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Dice all of the vegetables.
- Place oil in a large pot and place over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, garlic, jalapeño, and tomato, and saute for 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Add in ground turkey and garlic, break up the meat, and cook until no longer pink. Add in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt; stir until the ingredients are combined.
- Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture to a prepared slow-cooker.
- To the slow-cooker add in the canned tomatoes, chicken broth, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir everything until the ingredients are combined.
- Place a cover on the slow-cooker and cook on low-heat for 6 hours, or medium-heat for 4 hours.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, etc.
Notes
- If you prefer to cook this recipe on the stovetop, you can continue the process in the large pot instead of adding it to the crock-pot. Cook the chili on low for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- The beans can be swapped out for other types depending on your preference.
- You can use any brand of a slow cooker, but I recommend a Crock-Pot.
