CROCKPOT LOW CARB TURKEY CHILI W/BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 4-8 hours

Somehow the combination of sweet and spicy just does it for me! Pair the sweetness of the butternut squash with the flavors of garlic, chili powder and cumin, seem to make a perfect blend of flavors!

Talk about a great dish on a cold day, throw in a little cornbread and the deal is sealed!
