A flavorful and hearty turkey chili recipe perfect for cozy evenings.
Brown the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
Ensure the turkey is evenly browned for a consistent texture.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Transfer the cooked turkey and onion to the slow cooker.
Use a spatula to scrape all the flavorful bits from the skillet.
Add the green pepper, chili beans, mushrooms, and crushed tomatoes to the slow cooker.
Dice the green pepper into small pieces for even cooking.
Stir in the garlic powder, parsley, basil, oregano, and chili powder.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Stir occasionally if possible to prevent sticking.
Serve the chili over tortilla chips, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and a dollop of sour cream.
Customize the toppings to suit your taste preferences.
