Chili With Beans and Ground Turkey image

Similar to "Mom's Chili-Crockpot Version" this chili replaces ground beef with ground turkey, tomato paste with diced tomatoes, and is a lower fat alternative. Great with grated low fat cheese and fat free sour cream on top. Also, hot chili sauce to taste can be stirred into the crockpot to make this recipe hotter.
