Start by cooking the ground turkey in a skillet for about 5 to 10 minutes until browned.

Chop the onion while the turkey is cooking.

Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the ground turkey once it is partially cooked.

Open all the cans of ingredients while the turkey and onion are cooking.

Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a colander before adding them to the slow cooker.

Add the tomato paste directly into the skillet with the ground turkey and onions once they are cooked.

Add the tomato juice to the slow cooker along with the drained kidney beans and cooked turkey mixture.

Season with pepper, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper, and chili powder to taste, without measuring.

Stir everything together in the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.

After cooking, check the chili; it should be thickened from the tomato paste.

Serve half of the chili for dinner and freeze the other half in gallon-sized freezer bags after cooling.

Label the freezer bags and squeeze out all the air before sealing.
