This slow cooker turkey chili started out as a one-pot turkey chili, but I find I rarely have the time to keep an eye on a simmering pot that requires at least an hour of simmering. I’d rather have one extra pan to clean than to worry I’ll forget to stir the chili. (I’ve forgotten to stir my creamy chicken and rice soup, so it’s a real concern.)

Although this slow cooker turkey chili has more ingredients than the slow cooker sweet tortilla soup I posted last week, it’s totally worth making. The two appear fairly similar but have very different flavors. Of course, I have no problem eating some sort of chili or bean-filled soup multiple times a week, especially during colder months!

This slow cooker turkey chili is easy to tweak (e.g., try pinto beans instead of kidney beans or green bell pepper instead of yellow). Love garlic? Add an extra teaspoon or two. All about the heat? Go for double the hot sauce. I do recommend not substituting something for the chili beans; they add the perfect flavor to this turkey chili.
