Slow Cooker Turkey Chili was one of the first recipes I learned to make as a newlywed and I’ve been perfecting it ever since! The only real cooking you have to do is just browning the meat in the beginning. Then you throw in a bunch of stuff from cans and hours later you’ve got an incredible meal and the leftovers get tastier with each passing day! Watch the video below for the step by step and then scroll down for the full recipe. xo, Rachel

Start by browning your meat over medium high heat. Add in garlic and onion and cook until the onions are translucent.
Add in Chili Powder, Garlic Salt and Black Pepper and mix well.
Put your meat along with all the other ingredients into the slow cooker and mix well. Cook for at least 4 hours on medium heat.
My slow cooker turkey chili is so good it can be eaten as is or topped with cheese, chips, sour cream or anything else your chili-loving heart desires! Enjoy!
