Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

I had a work pot luck the other day and wanted to bring a real meal since folks tend to be busy and bring cheese and crackers and cookies. I too was feeling really busy, so I decided to throw some things in my crock pot and see what happened. I got such positive feedback on it from my Teacher Taste Testers, so I decided to post the recipe here. Trust me, it is as easy as dumping the ingredients in. It makes a big pot that you could eat for a few meals, turn in to soup or serve over cauliflower rice. It has enough liquid in it that it would also freeze very easily.

What You Need:

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 1 large onion, diced

• 2 garlic cloves

• 4 zucchini, sliced into rounds

• 2 yellow squash, sliced into rounds

• 1 red pepper, chopped

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed

• 2 cans tomato sauce

• 1 can diced tomatoes

• 4 oz low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp chili powder or crushed red pepper (more if you like it hot!)

• EVOO, salt, and pepper

What I did:

1. Slice all vegetables into similar sized pieces.

2. Dump everything in the slow cooker.

3. Cook on low for 10 hours, stirring every few hours.

4. Enjoy!
