This chili has only 5 ingredients and is a proven winner in the taste department. I have actually used this exact recipe and won a chili contest with it even so give it a try! Most of the time chili is a healthier option anyways but I make this chili extra special and flavorful while still keeping it nutritious. This recipe is also a slow cooker recipe, stores well, and comes together quickly.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground turkey (93/7)
1.5 cups frozen peppers and onions
1 full bag low fat Mexican style cheese (weight watchers brand preferred)
1 can navy beans
1 big jar salsa (any kind you like-I always use chunky style in medium)
Also additional seasonings to season meat (please do not skip this part-it is really important to layer the flavors by seasoning the meat! I used generous amounts of the above seasonings.)
Cook turkey along with seasonings you selected in nonstick pan. Once meat is totally cooked taste it to ensure it has great flavor on it’s own. Once again It really helps the final product taste best if the meat is nicely seasoned.
Add everything into a crockpot, stir, and cook on low or 4-5 hours or 2-3 hours on high if you need to be extra speedy. Make sure you stir it well at least a couple times if you cook it on high though so it doesn’t burn! This chili is deliciously cheesy and it’s also really filling too!!
