First- brown the ground turkey in a skillet and pour off the fat, if any. Add the turkey to the slow cooker and add the remaining ingredients, through sea salt and ground pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and cook (on high or low) according to manufacturer's instructions until done. About 20 minutes before serving, stir in the lime juice and cilantro; taste test.
