Crock Pot Turkey Chili

We have made this recipe twice in the last two weeks... The first time around it tasted alright but a touch bland. A teaspoon of garlic salt and some grated cheddar and parmesan cheese added the second go 'round was the perfect addition!

Ingredients: 
Adapted from Taste of Home

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 medium bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/2 a large onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (28 ounces) petite diced tomatoes,  not drained
• 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

Directions: In a large nonstick skillet (or a stainless steel skillet coated with cooking spray), cook the turkey, pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Transfer to a 4-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, broth, corn, tomato paste, chili powder, pepper, garlic salt, cumin and garlic powder. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until heated through. Serve with optional toppings if desired. Yield: 6 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
