My World Famous Crock Pot Turkey Chili

• 4 lbs ground turkey
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 2 dried cayenne peppers, chopped (optional)
• 1 12 teaspoons smoked paprika, only (not sweet or regular)
• 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano (Do NOT use regular oregano. Totally different flavors)
• 2 teaspoons granulated garlic (garlic powder works also)
• 12-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to desired taste or heat)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 tablespoons chili powder, heaping
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin (Comino)
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
• 4 cups heated low sodium beef broth (enough to cover all meat plus 1 inch) or 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth (enough to cover all meat plus 1 inch) or 4 cups water (enough to cover all meat plus 1 inch)

1. Preheat crockpot by turning on "high".
2. (This amount fits comfortably in a 6.5 qt crockpot.
3. ).
4. Brown ground turkey w/salt in a deep skillet or dutch oven, til browned.
5. Drain off excess liquid.
6. Transfer browned meat into crock pot.
7. Add all the rest of the DRY ingredients and liquid of choice, to cover plus 1 inch.
8. Add tomato paste and mix until dissolved.
9. Add green chiles and mix.
10. Depending on the amount of time you have or want to cook this chili, I either cook on high for one hour and then on low for the next 4-8 hrs depending on the amount of time til ready to eat it.
11. Or, we cook it on high for 4 hours if we need it quicker.
12. You really can't go wrong on the time of cooking -- longer or shorter.
