Crockpot Turkey Chili

Just the right amount of spicy and the perfect amount of healthy!  Keep your guests happy, healthy and warm at your next game day party with this Crockpot Turkey Chili!

What are the ingredients for the perfect game day party?  Good food, good friends, lots of laughs and a nice HD TV to watch the game on!  Of course it helps if your team wins too….Yay Pats!  Whoot, Whoot!

I’m so excited to see the Patriots headed to the Super Bowl this year!  Football is by far my favorite sport to watch and I never miss a Pats game!

They had me a little worried after their first game of the season but they definitely turned things around and gave us a fantastic season to remember with lots of interesting little surprises.   Like Julian Edelman’s touchdown pass and Nate Solder’s first ever touchdown!   I  can’t wait to see what surprises they have in store for the Super Bowl!

There’s nothing better than a killer Chili to delight football fans on game day!  Football and Chili just seem to go hand and hand.

This Crockpot Turkey Chili is my absolute favorite and I’ve been making it for years!  I love making it in the Crockpot so I can keep it nice and hot through the whole game and if I’m taking it to a party it’s easy to transport and plug in to heat up when I get there.

This Chili is loaded with fresh healthy veggies, kidney beans and spices.  I added lean turkey to try to keep the calories down and New Year’s resolutions in tack.  It is so tasty and hearty you won’t even miss the extra calories that you usually get from ground beef.  So you can feel good about making it for your next winter gathering to keep  your guest warm and their bellies happy!
