Just 20 min prep! Then you can come home to a cozy, hearty, comforting butternut squash turkey chili in the crockpot! I need chili. 3 bowls of chili to be precise. With chunks of tender butternut squash, crumbled ground turkey, and two types of beans and peppers. It’s just absolute coziness in a bowl. Also, Side note: I love to use pre-cut butternut squash. It’ll save you time, and maybe a finger.
