CROCK POT CHILI WITH TURKEY & SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a 5-quart crockpot combine canned tomatoes and beans, cover and turn on high while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Brown the turkey and sausage together in the same skillet, seasoning with seasoned salt,regular salt, and pepper, drain and add to crockpot.
• (Note: If I have a 1-lb package of each, I usually cook all of it and freeze half for the next time I make chili.) Saute green pepper and onion in a little olive oil until tender and add to crockpot.
• Season to taste with chili powder, basil, oregano and garlic powder.
• NOTE: If you use pre-seasoned canned tomatoes, you may not need to add additional seasonings, or not as much.
• I usually add a small spoonful of sugar or a squirt of ketchup to take the acid edge off the tomatoes and sweeten it up just a bit.
• You'd be surprised at the difference this makes!
• Once everything is in the pot, add as much or as little of the tomato or V8 juice as you like to get the desired consistency.
• Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours, longer if you use low.
• Serve with Corn Bread.
• Variations: You can substitute chili hot beans or black beans for one of the cans of kidney beans, or use ground beef in place of the turkey.
• You can add a can of tomato paste to thicken it (just add a bit more sugar or ketchup).
