This hearty turkey chili is loaded with aromatic vegetables, making it flavorful, filling, and so satisfying. Perfect for a cozy and healthy dinner!
My family loves this paleo turkey chili, and I love that it is so full of veggies! It might take you about 20 minutes to chop the vegetables. If you plan to toss the ingredients in the slow cooker before heading to work in the morning, you can prep all the vegetables the night before.
Alternatively, you can toss the vegetables in a food processor and dice them up that way for a shortcut.
