White Bean Turkey Chili

This White Bean Turkey Chili is part of my Crock Pot Meal Plan...It's so nice to have a warm, home cooked meal after a long day of work. You can dump the ingredients into the crock pot on the same day that you prepare it, or you can place it in a zipper bag and store in the fridge or freezer for later. (See Mother Load of all Meal Plans)

This meal was excellent on a cool night this week. I think that the next time I make it I will add another bean or veggie to give it more texture.


The Ingredients:

1 lb. ground turkey (again, you can use ground beef if you choose)
2 T olive oil 
2 cloves garlic (chopped and diced)
1 onion (sliced and diced)
4 cans Navy Beans (drained and rinsed)
1 C Pinot Grigio
1/4 Jalapeno Peppers
1/4 C Corn
vegetable broth (add as much or as little as you'd like)
oregano (to taste)
1 T cumin
1 tsp. cinnamon


How To:

Saute chopped garlic in a little olive oil. Once it becomes slightly browned, add ground turkey and cook fully. 

Remove from skillet and let cool in a separate bowl. 

Saute the chopped onion in a little olive oil until translucent. Let these cool. 

Pour all ingredients into a large, gallon sized zipper bag and store in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to stick this in the crock pot. 

To cook: Turn crock pot on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6.
