The Saturday Simmer: Chicken and turkey chili recipes

Give me chili any which way -- with or without beans, with or without meat -- and as long as it's spicy, I'm happy. Honestly, though, I'm happiest when my chili contains both meat and beans, and if the meat is turkey or chicken, that's just fine with me. This Crock Pot chicken taco chili, from Skinnytaste, hits all the high notes, and the best part is that it comes together in the slow cooker while you're busy doing something else. You can make chili on the stovetop, or in the slow cooker, and most of the recipes here can be adapted for either cooking method. With football playoffs in full swing, these recipes are perfect to make on Saturday for game day on Sunday.
