For lunch today I had to go warm and cozy. It has been a rainy and chilly two days here in Missouri, and chili sounded wonderful. I actually made this dish on Saturday night and it cooked all of Sunday while I was at work on low in my 2 serving slow cooker. It was perfectly delicious by the time I got home. Here's what you'll need...
1 lb lean ground turkey (I'm only one person so I use half and freeze half)
1 can diced tomatoes (another great option is the fire roasted diced tomatoes for a kick)
1.5 Tbls chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 Tbls salt (I just toss a pinch in there...keeping salt content lower)
pinch of ground pepper
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of ground cloves
2 Tbls salsa (whatever kind you like or have in the house)
First start by browning the ground turkey. I only use 1/2 lb and freeze the other 1/2 for a later date. Add turkey, diced tomatoes, salsa, and spices to your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours (like I said it cooked all day while I was at work, super easy to have dinner waiting for you when you get home!) I'm only one person, and this recipe makes 2 servings so I have a left over meal for lunch one day, but you can certainly make a larger batch for a larger family and freeze any left overs for a rainy day! I like to finish this meal with a simple corn muffin. I don't bother trying making them from scratch. I purchased a $0.49 muffin mix that makes 6 muffins. Top off the warm corn muffin with a drizzle of clover honey and dinner (or lunch) is served! Enjoy!
