Bold flavors and simple comfort are what this slow cooker turkey chili is all about! Ground turkey, loads of beans, and veggies are combined in deliciously seasoned broth cooked low and slow and ready to serve at the end of the day!
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the onion and bell peppers. Cook 3 minutes, or until softened. Add in the turkey and garlic. Cook until lightly browned. Drain, if needed. Transfer to your crockpot.
Pour in the tomato sauce, tomatoes, black beans, chili beans, and kidney beans. Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt and 1/2 to 1 cup water (depending on how much liquid you need to cover everything). Cook on low 4 to 6 hours.
Season to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite toppings.
