• Add beef mixture to slow cooker; stir in remaining chili ingredients. Cover; cook on High heat setting 3 to 4 hours or on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours. Serve with reserved bacon and Toppings.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place turkey in the skillet, and cook until evenly brown; drain.
• Coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray, and mix in turkey, tomato soup, kidney beans, black beans and onion. Season with chili powder, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, allspice and salt.
• Cover, and cook 8 hours on Low or 4 hours on High.

Steps:

• Fry bacon until it starts to brown, cut into bite size pieces and put into crock pot.
• Brown the ground turkey with onions.
• Combine ground turkey, kidney and pinto beans, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, and chicken broth and add to crock pot.
• Use food processor or mini-prep to puree garlic, tomato, and jalapeno peppers and add to crock pot.
• Mix all ingredients in crock pot and let it cook for 6-8 hours on low.

Steps:

• Mix ground turkey, tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, chicken stock, onion, hot sauce, chili powder, salt, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, and black pepper together in a slow cooker; stir to break the turkey into small chunks.
• Cook on Low 6 to 8 hours (or High for 4 hours).

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook until the color changes, about 5 minutes. Next add the onions and cook till translucent. Then add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Next add the stock, hot sauce, chipotles, tomato paste, chili powder and cumin. Cook it on very low heat, covered, for about 40 minutes. Add three-quarters of the bacon, saving one-quarter for garnish, and cook for an additional 20 minutes, uncovered. Add salt if needed. Serve topped with the chopped bacon and sliced avocado with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Mix and soak beans overnight per package directions.
• Process the fresh tomatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper and jalapeno (hot) peppers in the food processor; place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Note: The 2 tablespoons each of hot spices makes a very mild chili- while the 4 tablespoons w/added hot peppers turns up the heat-- for those who like it HOT!
• Take out four or five cups of the soaked beans and place in crock pot (cut it to 3 cups if you did the fast soak- they will still expand while cooking).
• Freeze the rest for later use.
• If you are using canned beans you'll lose some of the flavor-- but it's still good.
• Fry the bacon until crispy and place in crock pot.
• Brown the ground turkey in some of the bacon drippings and place in crock pot.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, bell peppers, broth, beer and tomato spice puree.
• Stir to mix and let cook for 10-12 hours on low.
• (You can also cook for 5-6 hours on high, but the beans will not soak up as much of the flavor).
• Serve topped w/the shredded cheddar cheese.
• This recipe is for a large crock pot. You can cut down on the ground turkey, beans and bell peppers a little if you have a smaller crock pot.
