I got this delicious and flavorful turkey chili recipe from my friend’s mom, Detsi. This chili is more healthy than using ground beef version, and you’ll never know the difference!
Although I prepare this in a traditional stock pot, you can make this turkey chili in the crock pot by first sauteeing the vegetables, garlic-shallot puree and ground turkey, and then putting it in the crock pot on low for 4-6 hours. Top with green onions, shredded cheese and sour cream.
If you have leftovers, this turkey chili recipe makes great chili omelets the next day! Just heat up the chili and use it either as a filling, or topping for your omelet. You can also put the chili on some cooked tater tots, or even nachos. Use your imagination!
