Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 3 cups potatoes (cubed)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Brown Turkey: Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a few teaspoons of olive oil to the pan. Next, add the ground turkey, 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 Tablespoon tomato paste. Mix everything into the turkey as you break it up and brown it. Cook until no pink remains.
- Transfer to Slow Cooker: Carefully pour the browned ground turkey mixture into your slow cooker. This forms the flavorful base for your hearty chili.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the diced bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, 2 Tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 2 teaspoons cumin, the canned diced tomatoes, rinsed and drained canned beans, rinsed and drained canned corn, 1 cup bone broth, and 1/2 cup tomato sauce to the slow cooker.
- Stir Well: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly until they are completely combined. Ensure everything is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
- Set and Cook: Place the lid on your slow cooker. Cook the chili on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. The longer cook time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Taste and Adjust: Once cooked, taste your high protein turkey chili. Add more salt if needed (the recipe suggests adding 1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired). If you want more heat, you can add another tablespoon of chili powder and/or some cayenne powder a little at a time until it reaches your desired spice level.
- Serve Hot: Ladle the delicious, protein-rich chili into bowls. Garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy this comforting meal immediately.
