Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the spicy ground beef and ground turkey with vegetable oil over medium-high heat until browned. Transfer the cooked meat to the bottom of a slow cooker, ensuring it is at least 6 quarts in size.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook the diced onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute until it becomes aromatic.
- Move the sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker, combining them with the cooked meats.
- Add all the remaining ingredients into the slow cooker with the meat and vegetable mixture. It may seem like a lot, but it will blend together beautifully.
- Mix everything thoroughly, then set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for approximately 4 to 6 hours, or on high for about 3 to 4 hours. Adjust the seasonings to your taste if necessary.
- Serve the chili with cornbread, and add toppings like cheese, onions, sour cream, avocado, or any of your preferred garnishes. Enjoy your meal!
