Slow Cooker Turkey Chili
We live a bit outside of town, where farmland regularly intersects with a scattering of houses and small neighborhoods. It’s peaceful here. Open. Quiet. Plenty of land to meander through with the pup. This winter, it’s been especially still, with occasional falling snow and misty, foggy days.
When the weather grows chilly, I turn to a handful of my favorite comfort recipes; tried-and-true soups and stews, warming roasts and a few other cozy dishes, including this hearty Turkey Chili. Not only is this flavorful chili a perfect cold-weather antidote, I love that it mostly cooks itself, simmering away all day in the Slow Cooker, awaiting our return from a late-afternoon walk in the fields.

I must say, a friend served this at a party and all were raving about it and asked for the recipe. I took a bunch home and literally made the “yum” sound out loud during each bite. I also made it this week and it’s just awesome. Best chili i have ever had, let alone the healthy version! THANKS!
