Whether you’re tailgating or simply enjoying a cool fall afternoon, nothing warms the belly more than a hearty bowl of turkey chili. Simple, seasonal, and delicious, this recipe will become a true family favorite. Use a slow cooker liner with this recipe—it will prevent a baked-on mess, eliminating extra time in the kitchen so you can spend quality time with your family.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 yellow onions, diced small
2 pounds lean ground turkey
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 packets taco seasoning mix
2 (15.5 oz.) cans dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes, with juice
1 cup whole milk
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup cheddar cheese or 1 cup chopped tomato or a dollop of sour cream (optional)
Salt and pepper

Prep

1. LINE a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner.
2. COOK ground turkey and onions in oil, in a large skillet, until meat is browned. Drain off any excess fat.
3. SPOON browned turkey mixture into the lined slow cooker.
4. ADD garlic, taco seasoning, beans, tomatoes, milk and chicken broth to the slow cooker and gently stir with a rubber spoon/scraper to fully mix ingredients together.

Cook

1. COVER and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
2. CAREFULLY remove lid to allow steam to escape. Serve food directly from slow cooker using a plastic, silicon or wooden spoon. (Do not lift or transport liner with food inside.)
3. SEASON with salt and pepper to taste. Top individual servings with cheddar cheese, tomato or sour cream and serve. (Optional).

REYNOLDS KITCHENS TIP: No one likes to spend their afternoon elbows deep in soapy water and bubbles, scrubbing away at a messy slow cooker! So when you’re making this delicious and hearty meal, just use a slow cooker liner. It will help keep the usual sticky and baked-on messes away - so when you’re done, simply toss away the liner and get back to spending quality time with your family and friends.
