- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds (907g) 92–97% lean ground turkey
- 2 (14-ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 (7- or 8-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2 Tablespoons tomato paste

- In a small bowl, mix together all the seasonings. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground meat. Cook and stir for 4 minutes, then add 2 Tablespoons of seasoning blend. Stir and break up the meat as much as possible as it cooks for another 4–5 more minutes, or until completely cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked meat to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients—including the remaining seasoning blend. Stir everything together until combined.

Notes
- This chili can be adjusted for spice by adding more jalapeño or additional chili powder.
- For a thicker chili, use less broth.
