Ingredients
2 lbs lean ground turkey
2 cans (15oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
28 oz canned diced tomatoes, undrained
1 large onion, finely diced
3 tbsp chili powder
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
Instructions
Sauté the ground turkey and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the turkey is fully browned.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet to ensure a light texture.
Transfer the browned turkey and onion mixture into a 6-quart slow cooker.
Add the kidney beans, undrained diced tomatoes, garlic, chili powder, and vegetable broth to the slow cooker.
Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 hours.
Notes
Always brown the turkey before adding to the slow cooker to develop a deeper, savory foundation. You can adjust the chili powder levels based on your personal heat preference.
