This is the perfect dish when it is cold outside. It warms up your whole body and makes your tummy very happy.

I made this dish on a Sunday, thinking I was just going to have dinner by myself. Right as the dish was done, I was greeted by some of my best friends from college: Alex, Kayleigh, and Joe.

The second they heard I was making chili- they ran over!

They reacted to the Chili just the way I wanted them to: wanting seconds!

Bon Appétit!

Turn on The Crockpot for 4 hours on low (you have already cooked the ground turkey all the way through, so the juices just need to marinate in the meat for a few hours to get that perfectly tender and delicious flavor).

After it is done cooking, let it cool. Serve with cheese and sour cream for a perfect touch.

Note: Everyone will have a different preference on how much sriracha to add. Since, the meat has been cooked all the through it is okay to taste test to see how much sriracha is necessary. I keep stirring it all up, and then adding the sriracha till perfection. You can add as much as you want, but you can’t take it out. So just keep adding little by little. If you over spice the dish, then just add ketchup to make the zesty flavors more mild. Personally, I think the ketchup and sriracha make the dish just perfect.
