Laura's Quick Slow Cooker Turkey Chili



***Susan's Note: I had a bunch of cans of beans and tomato sauces and stuff that I wanted to use up, so I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. It was easier to put together than the other turkey chili recipe on my blog. This recipe recieved 502 reviews, with an average of 4 1/2 stars. What makes me laugh, though, is that most of the reviewers modified the recipe. I did, too!!

My modifications:
- omitted allspice (I don't have this in my cupboard)
- used 1 can diced tomatoes in place of one can of tomato soup
- added 1 4 oz. can diced green chiles
- didn't cook the turkey in oil
- replaced the 2 cans regular kidney beans with 2 cans rinsed/drained chili beans

I cooked it on high for 4 hours and it was yummy!
