Loaded Crockpot Turkey Chili

I cannot think of a more perfect cold weather meal than a warm bowl of chili. There's something about heading home and having that joyous realization that dinner is already made and has been simmering for the last hour just waiting for you to come home. I believe in magic because this crock-pot chili is just that-- magic! There's something for everyone in this recipe-- healthy, hearty ground turkey, protein packed beans and the perfect balance of veggies with two kinds of bell peppers and oodles of yummy corn. The flavors work so perfectly, that you could eat this recipe for a week straight and not get sick of the taste. I'm not just saying that either, it's been four days since I made this recipe and I'm still going strong. You know what they say, a bowl of chili a day keeps the doctor away, hahah!
