Having a big bowl of chili ready at dinner with very minimal effort (and dishes) is what winter is all about. This turkey chili is both comforting and healthy. So grab your slow cooker and cozy on up. You'd better cook it on the stove first, it will give your chili more flavor and who doesn't want more flavor? Stopping just before the turkey is cooked all the way through will keep it from being too dry after stewing for 4 hours.

Ingredients

Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
Shredded cheddar, for garnish
1 tsp. Dried oregano
1 tsp. Ground cumin
2 tsp. Chili powder
1 1/2 c. Low-sodium chicken broth
1 can Kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can Black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can Chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp. Tomato paste
2 cloves Garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds Ground turkey
1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1 Red onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil

Method

01

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and pepper and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is golden (it doesn't have to be completely cooked through at this point). Season with salt and pepper, then stir in garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker.
02

To the slow cooker, add tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Cook on high for 4 hours, until chili has thickened. Check for seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste.
03

Garnish with cheese and green onion, if desired.
