Full Flavor Crock Pot Turkey Chili Recipes

CROCK POT TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbs. oil in skillet. Saute onions and garlic until soft, and slightly browned. Put into crock pot.
• Heat remaining oil and brown ground turkey (I use ground dark meat, not as dry as breast meat when cooked). Put meat into crock pot.
• Add remaining ingredients to crock pot and stir together.
• Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours.
• Serve in large bowls, with cornbread on side.
• Optional toppings at table: Diced red or sweet yellow onion. Shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese. Sour cream.

• Cook on Low 6 to 8 hours (or High for 4 hours).

FULL FLAVOR CROCK POT TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Mix and soak beans overnight per package directions.
• Process the fresh tomatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper and jalapeno (hot) peppers in the food processor; place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Note: The 2 tablespoons each of hot spices makes a very mild chili- while the 4 tablespoons w/added hot peppers turns up the heat-- for those who like it HOT!
• Take out four or five cups of the soaked beans and place in crock pot (cut it to 3 cups if you did the fast soak- they will still expand while cooking).
• Freeze the rest for later use.
• If you are using canned beans you'll lose some of the flavor-- but it's still good.
• Fry the bacon until crispy and place in crock pot.
• Brown the ground turkey in some of the bacon drippings and place in crock pot.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, bell peppers, broth, beer and tomato spice puree.
• Stir to mix and let cook for 10-12 hours on low.
• (You can also cook for 5-6 hours on high, but the beans will not soak up as much of the flavor).
• Serve topped w/the shredded cheddar cheese.
• This recipe is for a large crock pot. You can cut down on the ground turkey, beans and bell peppers a little if you have a smaller crock pot.
