Recipe Notes
I made a few changes to the original recipe. It called for ground turkey, but turkey sausage was on special the day I shopped, so I used it instead.
And I cut the recipe in half, which still made 7 generous cups.
Served with corn muffins and a few of our favorite chili garnishes, this easy slow cooker BBQ turkey chili made a satisfying supper we both really enjoyed.

Great Recipe!! I did Add a onion and pepper too!!
My husband loves tacos so this was a big hit in our house.
It’s worth dicing half an onion, a bell pepper, and a couple cloves of garlic and sauteing them after you cook the meat.
Improves the taste and adds fresh veggies, which the original recipe lacks. Always aim for fresh veggies with every meal!!
Cannot wait to try this! Thanks for sharing such great looking recipes.
We really like it Mary. Hope you do too!!
