In a huge effort to cram as many yoga practices and runs in after work this week, I’ve depended almost solely on my slow cooker for dinner.  I ran home during lunch one day and skipped all the browning the meat and cooking the vegetables steps and tossed all my favorite chili ingredients into the slow cooker on high for 4 hours.  An easy chili recipe quickly turned into the easiest chili recipe!

FoodFash Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

1 pound ground turkey, raw
½ large chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 can kidney beans, undrained
1 can black beans, undrained
1 can pinto beans, undrained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 heaping tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

After 4 hours, use a large spoon to break up the turkey.  Enjoy as is, or top with chopped onions, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream!
