Slow Cooker Paleo Turkey Chili

You will need:

1-2 lbs ground turkey

1 large onion

3 garlic cloves minced

3-4 peppers any color

1 pack mushrooms

1-2 yellow squash

1-2 zucchini

2 large tomatoes

Seasonings:

salt- to taste

2 tsp cayenne pepper (less if you don’t like heat)

2 tbsp chili powder

2 tbsp paprika

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

3 tsp cumin

3-4 tsp red pepper flakes (less if you don’t like heat)

Liquid :

2 cups water or chicken stock

1-2 cans diced tomatoes

Brown your ground turkey and rough chop all your veggies.  When the turkey is cooked thoroughly, transfer to your slow cooker along with your stock, canned diced tomatoes and all of your seasonings.   I added the shrooms, squash, zucchini and peppers about half way or 2  hours until done so they don’t get too mushy.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Stir occasionally and taste to see if it needs any additional spice.  I froze the leftovers from this batch and it was really good defrosted.
