Instructions
- On the stovetop over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of oil and brown your ground turkey.
- Season the turkey with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste.
- Once the turkey is cooked through and no pink remains, add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the cooked ground turkey to your crockpot.
- Rinse and drain 1 15oz can kidney beans and 1 15.5oz can cannellini beans. Add the beans to the crockpot.
- To the crockpot, add 1 15oz can tomato sauce and 1 10oz can original Rotel. Stir the mixture.
- Add in your seasonings: 1½ tablespoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon light brown sugar.
- Stir the mixture gently until combined.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or low 8 hours – the lower and slower the better. Stir every few hours if possible.
- Serve and top with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- You can sub the turkey for ground beef and it will still taste great!
- Beans can be changed to your preference, but it will change the intended flavor.
- I have used this recipe on the stovetop, but the crockpot really helps meld the flavors to have that delicious chili taste.
