Crockpot Turkey Chili – Gluten-Free, No Beans, Clean Eating

Family Food

This crockpot turkey chili is the answer to all of our problems. Well, maybe not all of our problems, but it is certainly the answer to what are we going to cook for dinner?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a tribe of tiny people who have very particular ideas about food.

  • One is sensitive to dairy.
  • One only eats things smothered in cheese.
  • And, one is starving the second he walks through the door.

(that last one is not so tiny – it’s my husband)

So, having a dinner that can adapt with all of my family’s needs is important. Plus, I get “hangry” (hungry/angry) at approximately 5:11pm every day, so crockpot recipes are a must in this house.

Oh, and the fun part?

You have my full permission to smother this chili in Fritos and cheese.

Go ahead. Sneak a few Fritos while the kids aren’t looking.

There’s no judgement here.

I’m totally doing it too… *crunch*

crazy good crockpot turkey chili. Gluten-free even with the Fritos on top. Quick family meal for busy Moms. Packed with veggies too which is just a perk! | family meals, dinner, crockpot meal, clean eating, gluten-free soup, no bean chili, freezer meal friendly, delicious dinner that takes minutes to make

I’ve got to be honest.

I can’t take the credit for this yummy meal…

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law who adapted this recipe from All recipes.com. She tweaked it and made it crockpot friendly (thank you, Cari!).

Best of all?

She said that I can share it with you.

SCORE!

Just dump, cook, and eat.

Hmm…

That certainly didn’t sound appealing. But, I promise – this chili still tastes good!!

((don’t be worried))
