Slow Cooker Quinoa Turkey Chili

/

This chili is incredibly delicious and incredibly EASY! When it comes to dinner, I truly believe the simpler the better. Since I have been aiming to cook more at home, I have found myself gravitating towards simple recipes with clean ingredients. I love a good crockpot recipe and i'm not going to lie, whenever I use my slow cooker, I feel so "domesticated" ha! 

Even though we're in the middle of the hottest part of the summer, I will never turn town a good chili! I made it this week and paired it with a super simple salad! What I love about this recipe is that there will be so many leftovers! Thankfully my husband likes leftovers because we've been eating this for three days straight. ;) You can always freeze the extras as well and you'll have another dinner prepped and ready to go!
