Instructions
Stovetop
- Dice onion and bell pepper
- Brown ground turkey, bell pepper, and onion together in skillet
- Drain grease if there is any
- Combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beans in crock pot or large sauce pan
- Add turkey/onion/bell pepper mix
- Add jalapeno slices and jalapeno juice
- Add salt to taste and chili powder
- Allow to cook on low heat until warmed through. It is now ready to eat, however, it is recommended that you cook it for several hours to allow the flavors to mingle. I usually put it in the crockpot in the morning and have it for dinner that evening.
Freezer Meal Instructions
- Add all ingredients except for optional toppings in a 1 gallon zip top bag. Mix contents, label, and freeze. When ready to cook, place frozen block in slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours.
