Spicy Chipotle Turkey

I love turkey. It’s easy on the wallet and the perfect option for making A LOT of lean meat that tastes awesome. The big challenge with turkey is it tends to have a flat flavor and can easily dry out, but it really shines in the slow cooker.

This recipe remains a staple in my weekly rotation throughout spring/summer with it’s fresh citrus flavor and chipotle kick. Mix in a salad, create tacos, or eat by itself.
