The Best Healthy Crock Pot Turkey Chili

By Stacey Freeman 4 Comments

healthy-crock-pot-turkey-chili-01I love cooking in our crock pot, especially on the weekends. You throw everything in first thing in the morning, and by dinner time, you have a hot and hearty dish. Crock pots dishes are just so easy to make and not at all fussy.

I recently discovered a highly rated turkey chili recipe, but it was for the stovetop. With a few minor adjustments, I adapted it to work in a crock pot. I love this healthy crock pot turkey chili recipe, because it tastes really delicious and it is a snap to make. You wouldn’t even know it’s healthy chili because it still tastes rich and meaty.

I served the chili with my honey cornbread (made in muffin tins instead of a skillet), which was the perfect sweet complement to the savory chili. My discerning husband’s comment about the chili, “wow, that’s really good,” was another confirmation that this recipe is a keeper.

Adapted from the Food Network

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ cup chopped yellow bell peppers
1 pound ground turkey, (I used lean, 7% fat)
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 16 oz. can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup chicken stock, more as needed
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Optional Toppings:
shredded cheddar cheese
chopped green onions
sour cream

Directions:

In a large skillet, sauté onions, garlic, and bell peppers in olive oil over medium heat until onions are translucent. Add ground turkey and cook until browned.

Add all ingredients to the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours, stirring occasionally. About half way through cooking, taste. Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and/or chili powder and/or hot sauce for your personal preference and mix well.

Cooking Tips For Consistency: After several hours, if your chili is starting to look too dry, add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Around the 6 hour mark, if your chili seems too liquidy, crank the crock pot to high until the chili is boiling. Make a flour slurry and add it to the bowling chili. Mix well and return the chili to low for another 1-2 hours of cooking.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors. If you're looking for a quick, convenient and delicious lunch option, definitely check out Progresso Toppers! #progresso #progressotoppers #takeacrunchbreak

I’ve received a lot of DMs about traveling to Puerto Vallarta. New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing a full blog recap, including my thoughts on traveling during the pandemic and the experience we had.

Here’s a bit about where we stayed —  @villapremiere — is doing a fantastic job at keeping their employees and guests safe. Everyone is required to wear a mask; social distancing is maintained at all restaurants and public spaces; staff do not enter rooms except for room cleaning when the room is empty; hand sanitizing stations are present throughout the resort; hotel capacity is capped to ensure proper social distancing. I honestly felt very safe. If you have any other questions, please dm me or leave your questions below.
