Chipotle and Corn Turkey Chili

As I have said before, I love coming home to dinner already made, and this chili is amazing in a slow cooker, or on the stove top. Adjust ingredients and spices to suit your taste. Pairs wonderfully with corn bread. I always freeze a couple of tubs for a rainy day.

2 lbs ground turkey                               1tsp salt
2onions                                                  2tsp pepper
3cloves garlic                                        2tsp paprika
2 cans red kidney beans                        2tsp cumin
1 can black beans                                  2tsp coriander
1 can of corn                                         Juice of one lime
2 large cans of diced tomatoes             1tbs brown sugar
3 chipotle peppers diced fine (or more if you like)
(you can always “cheat” and use a Mexican spice mix or chili spice)

1. Brown turkey over med heat, drain fat, add onions and sauté until soft
2. Place all ingredient in to slow cooker and stir to combine, add turkey and onions
3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours
