How to Make Healthy Crock-Pot Chili

* 1 pound ground turkey or chicken

* 1 onion, chopped

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

* 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

* 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained

* 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel tomatoes, undrained

* 1 tablespoon chili powder

* 1 teaspoon ground cumin

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey or chicken. Drain any excess fat.

2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, Rotel tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

4. Pour the mixture into a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is cooked through.

5. Stir in the cilantro and serve.

Tips

* To make the chili even healthier, use lean ground turkey or chicken. You can also add more vegetables, such as chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini.

* If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this chili on the stovetop. Simply bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.

* Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado.
