Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

This chili is a comforting and hearty meal that comes together with minimal effort. Using a slow cooker means you can set it and forget it, making it perfect for busy days. The combination of turkey and cheese adds rich flavor without being too heavy.

Helpful Tips For Cooking

- Brown the turkey before adding it to the slow cooker to enhance flavor and texture.
- Use low heat for 6-8 hours for the best flavor development.
- Stir the chili occasionally if possible to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 1

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned and no longer pink. Once cooked, transfer the turkey to your slow cooker along with the kidney beans and diced onion, then give everything a good stir to combine.

Step 2

Use the same skillet to mix together the tomato sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, chili seasoning, ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. Let it come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to blend all those flavors.

Step 3

Pour this sauce over the turkey mixture in the slow cooker and stir everything together. Set the slow cooker to High and let it cook for about 20 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 4

When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle the chili with shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese for a melty, cheesy finish. Enjoy!

Best Ways To Serve

Serve this chili topped with extra shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped green onions. It pairs well with crusty bread, tortilla chips, or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.

Storing This Dish

Let the chili cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
