Turkey Chili
I love this variation of a cold-weather classic like chili. Like anything I prep in my beloved crock pot, this dish came together in no time flat, and serves a crowd. Bonus: it freezes beautifully and can be portioned out into single-serving containers for a quick lunch or dinner. Turkey Chili will make you crave a big bird more often!

Instructions
  1. Chop vegetables and rinse beans. Set chickpeas aside for use later in the recipe.
  2. Place all ingredients into crock pot insert.
  3. Add broth over ingredients.
  4. Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours.
  5. When 30 minutes remain on timer, crush chickpeas into a course consistency. This will help the chili thicken during the final cook time.
  6. Add the crushed chickpeas and stir to incorporate.
  7. When complete, the turkey should have a golden hue, and a vibrant look. Get ready to dig in!
  8. Serve with a spritz of lime, and some saltine crackers. Gobble, gobble!
Recipe Notes

My husband made a smoked turkey the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  Because apparently we didn’t have enough leftovers to go around.  But may I suggest that if you have access to something with this depth of flavor it would also be incredible in this recipe.  A little smoky flavor goes a long way, and adds some delicious depth to an already delicious bowl of Turkey Chili!
