March 18-Crock Pot Turkey Chili

Posted by

Well since I just came up with this idea and I’ve already done the cooking, I won’t have prep pictures. A couple hours ago I prepared my crock pot for turkey chili. I am a BIGGGG fan of foodgawker.com –which is where I got the recipe. This website is a search engine for yummy recipes, it searches through cooking blogs for the recipes. Thankfully, I had all of the ingredients in my pantry already so it was super easy. I first browned the ground turkey (1lb) in a large skillet. Browned may not be the best word since it is turkey–the meat turned a whitish gray color when it was ready. Once it was cooked, I added 1 chopped yellow onion, 2 large cloves of garlic, 1 Tb of chili powder, 1 tsp of sugar and cumin, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Boy did this skillet smell delicious. I sweated the onions and everything else for about 5-7 minutes on medium heat. Once the onions were tender, I transferred the contents of the skillet into the crock pot. I added a 6oz can of tomato paste, 1 undrained can of kidney beans, 1 undrained can of white beans, and 1 undrained can of tomatoes. Mix mix mix and I set the crock pot to simmer on low heat for about 4 hours. Oh and did I mention? Not only is this chili DELICIOUS, it is one of the healthier recipes: 221 calories for a good sized serving.
