Tasty Tuesday – Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Welcome to another week of Tasty Tuesday here at The Young'ns!
There’s a recipe index under the food tab above if you’re ever looking for a recipe I’ve already blogged.
Every Monday, I plan on trying a new recipe. If it goes well, that’s what I’ll be posting on Tasty Tuesday. If not, I’ll post a tried and true (i.e. something I don’t have to think about too hard) ;)

The kids helped me make this yesterday because it was that easy :) And mighty tasty too!

PS Due to the “holiday” yesterday (hence hubby was off work) and nasty illness for me, I didn’t get around to making a menu for Menu Plan Monday yet. Maybe tomorrow…
