This delicious sausage and turkey chili recipe comes together quickly and simmers in the slow cooker until dinnertime! Tons of flavor without a lot of heat so it's kid-friendly too!
You might also like our lasagna soup or EASY taco soup recipe!
This has been my go-to recipe for eight years. It is loosely based off of my favorite Boilermaker Chili recipe, minus the heat keep it family friendly, and less meat. The sage sausage and variety of herbs and spices make it mild enough for children, and flavorful for adults!

I am ready to dig in! I love sausage and could eat it for every meal. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I haven't heard of Luck's beans before now. I will have to see if they carry them down here in Florida.
