Step 1

cook 1-1.5lbs of turkey in a pan and season with pepper, seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder to your liking (I got quite heavy on the garlic and onion)

Step 2

cook onion & bell pepper - cut up half or whole of each, saute in the meat pan (can add with the meat, or I prefer to do it after the meat - it is a little crispier that way)

Step 3

add both to crock pot or stick pot

Step 4

add in 4-6 cans of strained and rinsed beans (any mix of styles is fine - I usually have black, dark red, light red, kidney, garbanzo)

Step 5

add in 1-2 cans of chili beans WITH the sauce poured in, too

Step 6

add in 2 cans of tomatoes (I use fire roasted ones)

Step 7

add 1-2 cups of chicken stock or any broth (I usually start with a cup and then add more later if it seems to need more liquid)

Step 8

finally, season with chili seasoning and cumin (I got very heavy on these, probably 5 tablespoons of each) and let it simmer in either crock pot or stock pot for as long as you can wait
