Can I use ground beef instead of turkey?

Absolutely, While turkey keeps it lean, ground beef (90% lean works great) makes a richer chili. My husband actually prefers the beef version - just drain any excess fat after browning.

How can I reduce the sodium?

Easy fixes, Use no-salt-added canned beans and tomatoes, and swap low-sodium broth for regular. The spices add so much flavor, you won't miss the salt. I often cut the added salt in half and let everyone season their own bowl.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

You bet, Brown the turkey and veggies first (for best flavor), then dump everything in your crockpot. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. The house will smell incredible when you walk in.

Is this chili freezer-friendly?

One of the BEST freezer meals. Portion it into containers, leaving an inch of space. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat - it tastes just as good as fresh. I always double the batch for emergency meals.
