It’s cold outside- so let’s make something warm! A hearty, but healthy turkey chili with a kick simmers in the crock pot for a delicious meal to warm you right up.
Turkey chili is one of my favorite meals to make during the fall and winter. I love serving it for football Sundays, especially when we host friends for a game. I’ve been working on my recipe for a few years, but I think I’ve finally perfected it! The recipe makes 6 servings- so invite some friends over for the game and dig in while cheering on your team. If you don’t like spice, you may want to tone down some of the spice on this one as it does have a bit of a kick (but in a good way in my opinion :))
