Too good not to share!! Turkey Chili in the crockpot!

So I had to share this one! Dinner tonight is in the crockpot and let me tell you it is looking good. We experiment alot, and this is no exception. Trying to formulate a good-tasting, lower carb chili. This is really more of a veggie chili, but it includes meat too (ground turkey). Enjoy!

Turkey (and alot of veggie) Chili:

1 pound ground turkey (brown first)
1 pound chopped carrots
5 small red potatoes, chopped
5 celery stalks, chopped
1 med. onion, chopped
1 can black beans
2 cans rotel
1 can vegetable broth
Water to fill the crockpot

Seasonings:
Cumin, pepper, salt, garlic salt, celery salt

Cook on low for about 6 hours depending on your crockpot. You can cook a chili for an hour on the stove but I find the flavors intensify much better when it cooks all day. Also, optional, add in a small container of fat-free sour cream to give the chili a creamy, white chili appearance just before you enjoy!

This cuts the calories (and starchy carbs) waaayyyy down on a chili recipe and it is quite tasty! Season to your liking!
