slow cooker turkey chili

Here is another slow cooker recipe to add to your repertoire. I know everyone has a favorite chili recipe, but this one I like, because it tastes like the real thing,but with turkey meat, so much lower in fat.

2 lb ground turkey
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large can diced, or stewed, tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained, to add at the end

In a skillet, brown the skillet, cooker meat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown. In your slow cooker, mix turkey meat and remaining ingredients except beans. Cover and cook on low heat setting 6-8 hours. Stir in beans. Increase heat setting to high. Cover and cook 15-20 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Top with cheese and/or sour cream. Dad likes his with chips; I like to make corn bread.
