Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey (I used 93% lean)
  • 1 sweet onion (small, diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 15 ounces dark red kidney beans (can, drained and rinsed)
  • 15 ounces black beans (can, drained and rinsed)
  • 15 ounces pinto beans (can, drained and rinsed)
  • 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes with chiles (can)
  • 6 ounces tomato paste (can)
  • 1 cup tomato juice (or vegetable juice)
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (if you prefer less heat, reduce accordingly)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • kosher or sea salt (to taste)
  • 2 cups water

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan, add ground turkey and cook over medium heat, breaking up meat with a fork. Just after losing its pink color, add onion and garlic and cook until onions are tender, approximately 4 minutes. Drain off any fat.
  • Add ground turkey and remaining ingredients to the slow cooker, stir and cover. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours.
