I know it’s still cold in some parts of the country and this three bean turkey chili is a perfect homemade comfort food. Perfect for a family dinner on a cold night. This turkey chili is super easy to make and makes a great dinnertime meal the whole family will enjoy.

Also, this three bean turkey chili is a lot healthier for you too than the standard chili we are used to. I love that the great taste isn’t lost when eating a healthy meal. With all the seasonings and flavors added to this chili, it sure is a delicious, comforting meal that will have you coming back for seconds and thirds.

Easy Homemade Chili Recipe

We had this chili for about 3 straight days it was so good. Even for breakfast this was delicious and so satisfying.

Using all the different colored bell peppers enhances the flavor of this delicious three bean turkey chili. And it also adds so much color to the recipe as well. There’s nothing better than a big bowl of homemade chili and especially when it’s healthier for you. A perfect comfort food.

My friend, Lori over at sweetordeal.com made a turkey chili a couple of weeks ago (which this recipe was adapted from) and is just starting her own food blog. So when you get a chance, head on over to see how she’s doing with her blog. Like I said, Lori is just starting out so make sure to sign up for her email subscriptions so you can see when she posts a new recipe.

Can Three Bean Turkey Chili Be Made In A Crock Pot

Using a crock pot to make this three bean turkey chili recipe would be another option that works well too. Sauté onions, garlic and bell peppers. Add the ground turkey and cook until it’s thoroughly cooked. Next, spray the crock pot with a non stick spray. Place all the ingredients into the crock pot, starting with the turkey mixture. Stir and then cover and set the temperature to high or low, depending on your schedule. Cook 5-6 hours on high or 8 hours on low. Add the corn in the last hour of cooking. Make sure to top this tasty chili with some sour cream, sliced green onions, cilantro, avocados and of course cheese.
