easy tasty turkey chili

when the weather gets cooler, i usually break out the crock pot. last week dave mentioned he'd like some turkey chili and i was happy to oblige. it is, after all, just about the easiest thing to make! (and it's heathy to boot!)

here's the recipe (one of the few almost-all-from-a-can recipes i'll endorse!):

1 package ground turkey (500g or 1lb or 1.25lb...the recipe is forgiving)
1 can black beans, drained
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 can cannellini beans, drained
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
1 can sweet corn, drained
1/2 to 1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
a few twists of fresh black pepper
salt to taste

to make: saute the onion in a bit of olive oil until soft. add the ground turkey and brown. then dump everything except the corn into the crock pot on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. add the corn about an hour before serving and garnish with cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, green onions, or any combination thereof. i often adjust the seasoning a bit towards the end and add chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper as needed.

this stuff freezes well as is great as leftovers over a baked potato or as part of a taco salad.
