Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

This slow cooker turkey chili is creamy and warming, perfect to take off the chill as fall and the football season begins. 

This chili is super creamy and spicy. It gets its creaminess from refried beans. Who knew using refried beans as a thickener would be so tasty? This chili also makes terrific leftovers.

It really doesn't need any garnish besides a squeeze of lime and some fresh cilantro.

Shopping list for this Crock Pot Turkey Chili:

You'll needs some olive oil, diced onion, ground turkey, and beef broth. 

In addition, you'll need canned diced tomatoes, black beans, and a can of refried beans. 

I also added fresh tomatillo salsa.
Spices include chili powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. 

I also added some finely chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, tomato paste, and salt and pepper. 

How to make this slow cooker turkey chili:

First, brown the onion and the turkey in a skillet. 

Next, add the turkey onion mixture to a slow cooker.
Add beef broth, tomatoes, beans, refried beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, chipotles, and tomato paste, into the slow cooker and stir.
Finally, cover the slow cooker and cook on low for six hours.

My favorite slow cooker is the All Clad with the cast aluminum insert, but any 5 to 7 quart slow cooker will do.
