Slow cooker turkey chili is one of those keto recipes for dinner you turn to when you’re craving something hearty and packed with bold flavor that doesn’t require a lot of effort. The chili is fragrant, smoky, meaty, is super low carb and the use of dark ground turkey greatly enhances both the flavor and fat content. Despite using a slow cooker, this chili makes it on the list of quick and easy keto dinner recipes because it is literally a dump and go meal. You brown the meat and vegetables really quick, dump all the ingredients into the slow cooker, set it then forget it until dinner time rolls around.
