Ingredients 

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey or grass-fed ground beef
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large yellow or red onion, diced
• 2 large green bell peppers, seeded and diced
• 2 cans  (15 ounces each) kidney beans, chili beans and/or black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juices
• 1 cup low-sodium bone broth (chicken, vegetable or beef)

Here's how to make it: 

Heat oil in large pot oven over medium-high heat. Add in ground meat and cook, stirring while crumbling, until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain grease if it's excessive.

Stir in all spices, diced bell pepper, garlic and onion. Continue cooking until the meat has browned and the onion has softened.

Add in the beans, tomatoes, broth and butternut squash. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Note: You can cook your meat as described above, then combine all ingredients in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
