Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium red or yellow onion peeled and diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn drained

  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese crushed tortilla chips or strips, thinly-sliced green onions, sour cream, salsa, etc.

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and saute until completely browned, about 6-8 minutes, using a spoon to stir and break up the meet as it cooks. Drain the cooked turkey of any excess liquid, then transfer the turkey to the pot of a slow cooker.
