1.5 lbs ground turkey (93% lean)
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (14.5 oz each) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water or broth
Instructions
Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Brown the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
Transfer the turkey to the crockpot.
Add all other ingredients to the crockpot.
Stir well to combine.

Notes
You can prep the turkey and vegetables the night before to save time. For extra heat, add jalapeños or chipotle peppers. To thicken watery chili, mash some of the beans or remove the lid in the last 30 minutes of cooking. This chili freezes well and gets more flavorful the next day.
