Three Bean and Ground Turkey Slow Cooker Chili

Ingredients

• 1 cup tomato puree
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp leaves dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 lbs ground turkey
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium onion
• 6 oz tomato paste
• 1 jalapeno pepper
• 10 cups kidney beans
• 5 cups pinto beans
• 5 cups diced tomatoes
• 5 cups black beans

Directions

1. Combine onion, garlic, carrots, chili powder, oregano, jalapeno, salt and pepper in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker; stir. Add remaining ingredients; stir again.
2. Cover and cook on high setting for 6 to 8 hours.

4. Note: you can start cooking the chili at a high setting so the ingredients quickly reach a safe temperature. You can then reduce the heat to low after 3 to 4 hours, if you prefer.
