• Brown the turkey and sausage together in the same skillet, seasoning with seasoned salt,regular salt, and pepper, drain and add to crockpot.
• (Note: If I have a 1-lb package of each, I usually cook all of it and freeze half for the next time I make chili.) Saute green pepper and onion in a little olive oil until tender and add to crockpot.
• Season to taste with chili powder, basil, oregano and garlic powder.
• NOTE: If you use pre-seasoned canned tomatoes, you may not need to add additional seasonings, or not as much.
• I usually add a small spoonful of sugar or a squirt of ketchup to take the acid edge off the tomatoes and sweeten it up just a bit.
• You'd be surprised at the difference this makes!
• Once everything is in the pot, add as much or as little of the tomato or V8 juice as you like to get the desired consistency.
• Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours, longer if you use low.
• Serve with Corn Bread.
• Variations: You can substitute chili hot beans or black beans for one of the cans of kidney beans, or use ground beef in place of the turkey.
• You can add a can of tomato paste to thicken it (just add a bit more sugar or ketchup).

CRAZE-E GOOD TURKEY CHILI - 4 QT CROCK POT

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat and spray liberally with non-stick cooking spray. Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and add to pan. Add ground turkey and onion and saute stirring often until bacon is cooked and no pink remains in the ground turkey. Drain well and return to the pan. Turn the heat OFF.
• Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano or italian seasoning and stir into the meat until thoroughly combined. This allows the spices to penetrate and coat all the meat.
• Using a crock pot at least 4 quart size or larger, spray the inside of the crock well with non-stick cooking spray and transfer all ingredients from the skillet into the crock pot.
• Remove chipotles from the can, use gloves if you like as the oils from the pepper will remain on your fingers. No touching your eyes or nose! :) Place the peppers on a cutting board and mince them finely. Add them, along with a little of the adobo, if you like, to the empty skillet over no heat.
• Measure broth or amount of bouillon indicated on the package for the amount of water listed. Crumble bouillon into the water and stir. Add the bouillon or broth, beer and garlic or garlic powder to the skillet with the chipotle peppers and stir well. This will disperse the chipotle pepper and make sure it gets evenly distributed in the chili. Make sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan. Add all this to the crock pot. I like to use a rubber scraper/spatula to scrape out every last bit of goodness. You are just blending these ingredients together and cleaning out the skillet here and so you need no heat.
• Add both cans of undrained tomatoes and beans (drained or undrained whatever your preference) to the crock pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
• Set crock pot to low and allow to cook for at least 6-8 hours on high or 10- 12 hours on low.
• Ladle finished chili into bowls and garnish as you choose. Sour cream and grated cheese make wonderful additions and the dairy cools the heat of the chili. A dash of your favorite hot sauce is a great way to kick up the heat some more. This chili is also great with cooked rice or macaroni added into it either initially or as a way to create a new dish with any leftovers. Hope you enjoy!

FULL FLAVOR CROCK POT TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Mix and soak beans overnight per package directions.
• Process the fresh tomatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper and jalapeno (hot) peppers in the food processor; place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Note: The 2 tablespoons each of hot spices makes a very mild chili- while the 4 tablespoons w/added hot peppers turns up the heat-- for those who like it HOT!
• Take out four or five cups of the soaked beans and place in crock pot (cut it to 3 cups if you did the fast soak- they will still expand while cooking).
• Freeze the rest for later use.
• If you are using canned beans you'll lose some of the flavor-- but it's still good.
• Fry the bacon until crispy and place in crock pot.
