I make this a lot in the colder months when I want a quick and easy chili. Amazing flavor any time. Not some watered down beans meat and tomato juice stuff that a lot of people make. This is very hardy and filling. Toss in some shredded cheddar and it's good to go. The turkey makes it healthier but you can use any kind of meat. Leftovers work great for chili dogs, chili Mac, nachos, just about anything.

Steps

20 mins

1

Chop and sauté peppers in a pan in olive oil with the salt to help the peppers start to sweat and soften
2

Add ground turkey and seasoning salt. fry until meat is done
3

While the meat if frying rinse all the beans really good(yes even the chilli beans. The sauce they put in the cans usually is horrible) and toss them in a crock pot with the drained tomatoes and tomato sauce
4

Add in Oregano, garlic, chili powder, and cumin and mix it all up
5

When the meat is browned toss the meat and pepper mix in the pot (if you're using ground beef drain the fat if using turkey dump it all in because the meat is lean and any juice you have in the pan will be from the peppers sweating)
6

Cook on high for 4-6 hours or if you make it in the morning and plan on eating for dinner set it on low 6-8 hours and your done

Just a dad that loves cooking. Been cooking since I could reach the stove. Love coming up with stuff and am a big fan of cooking from scratch. Don't really have a style I generally cook in almost any genre of food.
