Instructions

1. Gather and prep all ingredients ahead of time for a smooth cooking process.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, break it into small crumbles with a spatula, and cook until evenly browned all through. Drain any excess grease from the cooked turkey.

3. Lightly coat the inner basin of your slow cooker with cooking spray, then add the drained cooked turkey, tomato soup, kidney beans, black beans, and chopped onion. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.

4. Season the mixture with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper, allspice, and salt, then stir again to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the chili.

5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on Low heat for 8 hours for a deep, slow-simmered flavor, or on High heat for 4 hours for a faster weeknight dinner.

6. Serve warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
