Fall is here and that means Chili season is here as well! Is there anything better than the smell of homemade chili cooking in your house on a crisp fall day? I like to set up a toppings bar with things like avocado, red onion, cilantro, hot sauce, and cheese so that everyone can customize their chili however they like it. For me, I love my hot sauce! In this recipe for Three Bean Turkey Chili, we like a variety of different beans, but feel free to use whatever type of beans you like and have on hand!
I include the recipes for my Turkey Chili below for both the stove top and the slow cooker! I use both depending on how much time I have and what day of the week Im cooking. During the week, my slow cooker is a life saver! Turn it on in the morning and come home to dinner made!
