Snow Day Turkey Chili

Snow Day Turkey Chili

I posted a similar recipe in January of 2011 http://andialacarte.blogspot.com/2011/01/game-day-turkey-chili.html, but here's the latest version I made.  I really liked using the baked beans for a good layered flavor.  Happy snow day!!

There's tons of varieties so play around with it a little if you're missing some stuff.  It always comes out good when it's along these lines....

1 package ground turkey (or chicken or beef) *about 1- 1.5 lbs

1 medium onion chopped

1 can baked beans (I've used kidney, red, black, or whatever I have in the house) *rinse all but baked beans

1/2 large can crushed tomatoes (or fire roasted, or chopped- again, whatever you have handy)

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon cayenne/red pepper (adjust to heat preferences)

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (again, white or red wine would be fine too)

1 teaspoon salt

Mix everything in crock and cook on low for 7 or so hours.

Enjoy!
