CHUNKY CROCKPOT TURKEY SAUSAGE CHILI

Sometimes you just need a chunky, hearty, soul warming chili! Yes, good old-fashioned regular chili that I make a lot in the Fall and Winter is delicious, but this chunky smoked turkey sausage chili is so full of flavor and chunkiness, that I often eat mine with a thick, salty tortilla chip. This is another crock pot recipe sure to make any chilly Fall Day even better! 
Yum

It’s so very easy, just sauté up the veggies and lightly brown the sausage and ya dump it all in. One thing I really like about this is it is basically just a heat it all up so it doesn’t need to cook all day. In Fact, if you’re in a pinch, you could mix it all in a stock pot, heat through and be good to go. I like it to simmer just a bit in the crock so those delicious chili flavors blend together perfectly.
