Kid-Friendly Crock Pot Turkey Chili

A kid-friendly chili with ground turkey, corn, bell pepper, tomatoes and spices. I created this milder chili for my daughter who doesn’t like beans or overly spicy food – this recipe is perfect (it’s also gluten-free). A few other chili faves try this CrockPot Chicken Taco Chili, Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili, and Turkey Chili Taco Soup.

My youngest daughter is heading to school next week (Pre-K) and this year she’ll be bringing lunch to class for the first time. She doesn’t eat sandwiches (neither did my oldest), so I’m going to have to get pretty creative to make sure she’s still eating healthy balanced meals. I just ordered this Foogo Stainless steal leak-proof thermos from Amazon, which I also did with my oldest daughter and I’ll be filling it with some of her favorite warm meals.

This slow cooker turkey chili is super easy to make, I did it in the crock pot, but you can also simmer it on the stove. It makes 5 adult size servings, and you can easily double the recipes and freeze it for future freezer-friendly meals.
