slow cooker turkey chili.

So easy. So yummy.

1.25 lbs ground turkey (Suggested: Jennie O)

1/2 green bell pepper, washed and chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

1 can kidney beans

1 can pinto beans

1 can tomato sauce

1 can rotel

2 T cumin

1 t. chili powder

1/2 t. cayenne red pepper

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook defrosted ground turkey in a tablespoon of olive oil until turkey is brown. Add the cooked turkey to your slow cooker. In the same skillet, saute chopped green pepper and onion for 5 to 6 minutes. Add to the slow cooker. Turn your slow cooker to low and add kidney beans, tomato sauce, rotel and spices. Stir to combine. Let sit with lid on for 6 to 8 hours. 6 to 8 hours allows time for all the flavors to blend. Serve with shredded cheddar, sour cream, chopped green onion, etc.

Note: this would be great with a can of corn, black beans, chopped tomatoes instead of rotel for less of a kick, or a few splashes of tabasco for more of a kick, etc.
