This is a combination (and adaptation) of 2 kinds of chilis from Easy Home Cooking's All New Slow Cooker cookbook. It's not a very liquidy chili and it sticks to your ribs. The ground turkey helps make it a little more healthy too. This recipe is very forgiving, so you may adjust the heating time to high (for a shorter period) or a combination of high and low.
