Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 2 cans (15 oz each) low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 oz) low sodium diced tomatoes
• 1 can (8 oz) low sodium tomato sauce

• Salt to taste (optional)
• Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey or chicken. Break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Transfer the cooked meat to your slow cooker. Add in the diced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Stir to combine.
3. Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and corn into the slow cooker.
4. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if needed.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the chili is heated through.
6. Once cooked, serve the chili hot in bowls. Top each serving with fresh cilantro and diced avocado for an extra burst of flavor.
