Paleo Turkey Crockpot Chili

My kids are in Pre-K and 1st Grade, and already we are feeling the tug of a go-go-go lifestyle.  Between soccer, baseball, school functions, and church, sometimes it feels like we never stop moving.  What will it be like when they’re a little older and want to add music, dance, and other sports into the mix?  Yikes.

With our busy schedule, the crockpot has become my new best friend.  I use it almost every day.  Sometimes it’s just to have cooked chicken or pork that I can use for tacos, sandwiches, or whatever, and sometimes I use it for a one-pot meal like chili.

This chili recipe was inspired by this one from my Crockpot Chili Recipe Roundup.  I used free-range turkey instead of beef, left out the jalapeno for the kids’ sake, and added my own blend of spices.

Perfect for the end of a long busy day, this turkey chili will warm you up and nourish your weary body.

How do you keep your family well-fed during a busy week?
