Notes
Turkey Chili Tasty & Healthy
I used McCormick's Chili Powder in this recipe, which is very mild. You should not use a spicy chili powder. If you're using something else, I would start with 2-3 tablespoons instead of 4. To make this recipe in the slow cooker: Reduce the chicken broth to 1/2 cup and brown the turkey and onions before adding to the slow cooker. Cook it on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. This is an awesome tailgating or football party recipe! Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
