High Protein Slow Cooker Lean Turkey Chili

Tired of macro-friendly dinner options that leave you feeling dead on the inside? Try my slow cooker lean turkey chili.

This is part of my slow cooker series where I show you how to meal prep multiple meals, or you can make dinner for your whole family (this recipe makes 5 servings). Trust me, they’ll love it even if they’re not dieting.

This meal is healthy, has great macros, and is really convenient. It only takes 10 minutes to prep and 4 hours on high in a slow cooker. Or you can leave it in the cooker all day on low, and it will be ready for dinner when you get home from work.
