$4.60 Turkey Chili



We love Chili. We love easy. My friend Crystal gave me this super easy turkey chili recipes. I love recipes that are "a can of this...a can of that..." The ease of not needing one measuring cup made this a great recipe! It also made the house smell fabulous, is quite healthy and tasted great too!

By the way, have you heard of Slow Cooker Liners? These things make my life so much more pleasant. Clean up takes seconds and there is no scrubbing of cooked on food. To me, the added expense (about $2 for 4) is worth the saved time. Time is money! Right? Reynolds makes them and they are available at Wal Mart and other stores near the aluminium foil, etc.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lg. ground turkey $1.79
  • Taco seasoning $0.33
  • 1 lg. can crushed tomato $0.79
  • 1 lg. can kidney beans $0.79
  • 1 lg. can chili beans $0.79
  • 1 onion, diced $0.11 ($1.49/bag/13 onions in bag)
  • Total = $4.60

Directions:

  1. Place turkey in Crock Pot
  2. Cover with onion, beans, tomato and seasoning.
  3. Stir to mix, using side of spoon to break up turkey
  4. Cook on high 6-8 hours*
  5. Serve with dinner rolls $2.50/15 rolls = $0.17 each (Dinner gets slightly more expensive when you leave the bag of rolls on the table and the dog steals the bag and eats 5)
*If the turkey is frozen chili needs to cook more than if it is not.
