Warming Turkey Chili
I am loving my crock pot this year. Maybe it's the consistent minus 30 temperatures or maybe it's having two kids. Either way I love only having to do some quick prep in the morning and then having a warm, nourishing meal ready by dinner time. This one happens to be a favourite of my toddler (for this week anyway!).

Notes
This is a mild and light tasting chili. It's just the right amount of spice for my toddler however you may feel you need to add more spice so taste before serving and add accordingly!
