Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

There’s nothing quite like a bowl of hot chili to warm you up on a bone-chilling or dreary day. I’ve found a recipe that is both comforting to the soul and healthy for the body.

This chili recipe is made with turkey instead of beef (yeah, healthy!) and is cooked in a slow cooker (yeah, convenient!). Best of all, it has just the right amount of spice in it so that it’s enjoyable for the whole family.

Here’s a shortcut: Use frozen chopped onions instead of chopping your own. It saves time and lots of tears!

I found this recipe on All Recipes and it is called:
