Slow Cooker Turkey and Black Bean Chili

I made the best chili tonight I had two big bowls and felt satisfied for the first time in a long time! 

 

I have a hard time with recipes because I usually have to leave something out, but I found this treasure and was so excited that I could have everything on the list! The chef comes on our shows regularly and she always has the best recipes, I will definitely be using this one again and again!
