There's not much better than coming home after a long day to this chili

This Slow Cooker Turkey Chili is a great recipe for either a lazy or busy day. Just throw the ingredients in your slow cooker and forget about it until it's time to eat.

Crappy weather and/or lazy day? Make chili!

We've had several very rainy and windy days, thanks toHurricane Florence. This cooler, dreary weather seemed like perfect excuse to make some comforting chili.

How does this come together?

It's very easy! You'll start by browning the turkey and cooking all of the veggies in a pan. Toss those, along with the rest of the ingredients (sans toppings), into the slow cooker. 

Cook low and slow. Top with whatever toppings make your heart sing. Eat!
