Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 lbs ground turkey*
  • 1 (28-oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp cacao powder
  • 3 Tbsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt, to taste**
  • 1 large green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 large carrots, chopped
  • 2 (15-oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, pure maple syrup, cacao powder, chili powder, sea salt, bell pepper, carrots, and black beans to your crock pot and stir it well. 

  2. 2

    Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or thick-bottomed pot and add the onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to turn golden-brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sauté another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Scoot the onions off to the side to make room for the meat and add in the meat. Allow it to brown for 2 to 3 minutes before flipping and browning another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. Use a spatula to break up the meat into smaller chunks.

  4. 4

    Transfer the sautéed onion and meat mixture and stir well until incorporated.

  5. 5

    Secure the lid on the crock pot and set it on High for 4 to 6 hours or Low for 7 to 10 hours.

  6. 6

    Serve the chili with your choice of toppings, and enjoy!
