Author Notes
I like to get up on Sunday mornings in the fall and winter and put together some chili in the slow cooker for football watching late in the afternoon and evening. Nothing fancy, just something flavorful and cozy. I've tried a number of turkey and chicken chili recipes for the slow cooker - some from Southern Living, Bon Appetit, Food Network - and I feel this is the best hybrid of those that I'd tried. Many slow cooker recipes don't have you cook the ground turkey first, but I find the turkey disintegrates and makes a runny chili if you don't. —tynitown
