Recipe Notes
Ground turkey can be pretty bland, so to make this Crock Pot Turkey Chili more flavorful, I used hot Italian-style Turkey sausage. Adjust the spices to suit your tastes. Chili powder is one of those spices that can intensify a lot during long slow cooking.Recipe Variations
different meats – substitute whatever lean ground meat or combination you like best, turkey, chicken, lean beaf, bison, pork, sausage, etc.
different beans – use whatever combination of beans you like best
vegetarian/vegan – skip the meat and add 1 to 2 extra cans of beans or your favorite meatless crumbles
more veg – bell pepper and/or corn would be good
different spices - substitute your favorite package of chili seasoning for the spices. Increase the spices and add cayenne pepper for more heat!
