My family and I prefer ground turkey in our chili but you can also use ground beef or even meat alternatives.

Just be sure to cook the meat thoroughly and as usually instructed.

Do you have to brown ground turkey before putting it into the slow cooker?

Yes, ground meat should always be browned before putting it into the slow cooker for these types of recipes.

You want to avoid clumping and cooking prior removes the excess grease from the meat cooking. No one wants greasy chili.
