  • 2 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chipotle powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey and diced onion.
  3. Cook until the turkey is browned.
  4. Transfer the turkey and onion mixture to the slow cooker.
  5. Add the bell pepper, garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper.

Notes

Browning the turkey first is particularly useful because turkey is leaner than beef and the browning step improves its flavor and texture.
