Spicy Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Sasquatch is alive, and living in my mirror.  This week, I discovered a nifty little side effect of pregnancy: excessive hair growth.  My eyebrows are out of control, my chin hair maintenance has tripled, and I now have peach fuzz growing up and down my jawline.  When they told me prenatals would give me long, luscious locks, I didn’t realize they meant that I’d be able to braid my face.

Given that I now have hair in other undesirable locations, I decided it wouldn’t kill me to cook up a meal that will put hair on your chest, as well… Behold, Spicy Turkey Chili:

Ingredients:

  • 1 can hot chili beans
  • 2 15 oz cans kidney beans, drained (one light and one dark)
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1 c. water
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red pepper, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp chili powder or ancho chili powder
  • Dash of red pepper
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 c. of Chipotle Tabasco sauce
  • 1-1.5 lb ground turkey

Heat oil in skillet and brown turkey.  Combine all ingredients in slow cooker.  Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.  Top with cheese, light sour cream, and chives.

Serves: 8; Time: 20 minutes to prep; 4-8 hours to cook
