- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 oz diced green chilis
- .5 onion chopped
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 1.5 tsp paprika sweet or smoked
- 1.5 tsp ground cumin
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp red chili flakes less, depending on your taste; this is for a medium hot chili.
- 1 tsp black pepper
Fixings

- .5 onion, chopped
- 2 green onions, minced

Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add oil. Add the turkey. Resist the urge to stir right away so that the turkey can brown - once you stir it, it will release liquid. After 3 minutes, stir and break the turkey up. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until there is no longer any pink meat and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 more minutes.
- Plug in your crockpot. Add the remaining ingredients to the crock. Add cooked turkey to the crock. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
- When chili is done cooking, stir and taste for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper, as needed. Serve with suggested fixings.
