Slow Cooker Sunday!

I have declared Sundays in my house to now be Slow Cooker Sundays! Sundays are always the day of the week when I do all of my house chores. By the time I'm finished all the cleaning, grocery shopping, and laundry, the last thing I want to do is start cooking a meal. I find that if I start my slow cooker meal around 11am, it's ready just in time for dinner. This week I made a clean chili, and it was very tasty! Mike and I both had 2 bowls each.

This Sunday's yummy clean chili

Here's what's in the pot:
1lb ground turkey
1 can diced tomatoes (no salt/preservatives)
1 can red kidney beans (no sugar added-I used PC Organics)
1 can black beans (no sugar added-I used PC Blue Menu)
1 medium onion chopped
3 cloves garlic (I used my garlic press, but you can just chop them really small)
1.5 cups of frozen corn
1 small jar of salsa (I used PC brand Organics hot salsa because it has no added sugar, and uses sea salt)
2 tsp fresh ground pepper
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tbsp chili flakes (if you like your chili a little spicier like we do)

1. Cook onion and garlic until onion is translucent, add in turkey and break up while cooking
2. Drain and rinse the beans
3. Put tomatoes, beans, corn, salsa, and spices into slow cooker and turn on high
4. Add cooked turkey/onions/garlic to slow cooker
5. Cook on high for about 3 hours, low for 2 hours
6. Bowl it up and let it cool for a couple minutes before you dig in because it is hot!

I also had fresh multi grain bread on the side. I sliced the bread about and inch thick, brushed some olive oil on, and added a little fresh garlic. Baked in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and it was nice and crispy.

Enjoy!
