  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) no salt added diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) no salt added kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Preparation

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat until shimmering. Add turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until just browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Transfer the turkey mixture to the bowl of a slow cooker. Add the tomatoes, kidney beans, oregano, cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt; stir to combine. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  4. When ready, serve each serving sprinkled with chopped parsley and shredded cheddar cheese, and, if desired, a tablespoon of Greek yogurt. (Note: saltines are pictured as a serving suggestion and are not calculated in the nutrition information).
  5. Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
