Description
This protein rich slow cooker chili is so filling and satisfying! With a double dose of protein from white beans and turkey, vitamin C and filling fiber from the cauliflower rice and the sweet potato, this recipe is packed full of flavor and nutrition that will keep you full and energized. I love batch prepping and freezing it for quick and easy weeknight dinners.
