DIRECTIONS:
2
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, paprika, red pepper, cumin and chili powder. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
3
Add turkey, increase heat to high and cook until meat is cooked through. Place cooked spiced meat into a crock pot with all remaining ingredients. Cook on low for about six hours. Serve hot. Not only is this an easy way to cook chili, the flavors blend together wonderfully and the house smells great!

notes

*If you only have regular table salt, reduce amount to 1 tsp. **Or 4 cans of your favorite kinds of beans. This freezes really well and since it makes quite a bit it's easy to freeze some for future dinners.
