SLOW-COOKER TURKEY CHILI

Slow-Cooker Turkey Chili image

I love this slow-cooker turkey chili recipe. Surprise ingredients like coffee and wine give it a rich, deep flavor that we balance by topping it off with avocado and green onion. Make a big batch and freeze any leftovers! -Terri Crandall, Gardnerville, Nevada
