Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)

1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, avocado

Instructions
 

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until it’s no longer pink. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces. Drain any excess fat and transfer to the crockpot.

    Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the crockpot with the browned turkey.

      Stir in the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, and chicken broth.

        Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper over the mixture, and stir well until combined.

          Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

            Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.

              Ladle into bowls and top with your choice of shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or avocado.
