The Big Game Recipe: Easy Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

I thought that my previous stovetop chili recipe was easy. However, this gluten-free slow cooker turkey chili recipe makes that one seems labor-intensive.

All that you have to do is brown the meat, chop up your desired vegetables and toss it all in the slow cooker along with your favorite chili seasonings. Several hours later, you will have some great chili.

We’re hosting our annual potluck “Big Game” party this Sunday. Chili is one of the things that I usually prepare. Someone else is bringing it this year, but it still doesn’t mean that you can’t make this easy, delicious dish…

Recipe Notes

* This is a really fun recipe because you can mix it up every time that you make it. My unofficial name for this recipe is“my everything but the kitchen sink” chili recipe because I also throw whatever leftover vegetables that I have from the week into the pot. Spinach (as seen in the chili at the top of this post) is especially tasty in it.

The other good thing about this recipe is that you can use all fresh ingredients or a combination of fresh and canned depending on your time constraints. (For example, I now usually make slow cooker black beans. Just follow the instructions on the back of the bag of beans.)

*For family dinners, you can serve the chili with rice and a salad for a full meal. For the Big Game, I suggest that you serve the chili with shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped onions. Your family and/or guests will probably like those toppings.

*One last tip: chili is more flavorful if you serve it the day after you cook it.

In any event, I hope that your team (cough…New York Giants) wins on game day!
