Crock Pot Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili

I forgot that I left my car in the driveway last night instead of the insulated garage and it was completely frosted over this morning (brrrr!) I wish I had this in the crock pot for dinner tonight instead of a couple weeks ago. It would be great to come home to a nice warm and already made bowl of chili to warm me up. I found this on Skinny Taste a while back and waited for a cold day to make it.

Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

It has definitely turned colder over the past week and it has finally become Chili Weather!!! I love how versatile chili is. You can add and subtract just about any ingredient to make it fit your taste. I made this last night and I think I am done tweaking it (for now at least.) This chili does have a little kick to it so if you do not like spicy food cut the red pepper flakes in half. The other great part about this recipe is it makes a TON of food it comes close to filling my 6qt crock pot. This makes 10 servings at only 7 points plus (including toppings!)
