Directions

Prep 20 minCook 420 min

1
Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until just beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
2
Return the skillet to medium heat. Sprinkle in the cinnamon, coriander leaf, cumin, paprika, and chili powder; cook 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, then scrape the spices and any juices into the slow cooker.
3
Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook 1 to 2 minutes until it releases some fat. Stir in the red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and diced hot chili pepper; sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
4
Stir in the tomato paste and the diced tomatoes with their juices and bring to a brisk simmer for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits.
5
Pour the tomato mixture into the slow cooker with the turkey. Add the chickpeas and honey, and stir to combine.
6
Cover and cook on LOW until the flavors meld and the turkey is very tender, 6 to 8 hours.
7
Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
8
Ladle into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped scallions. Serve warm.
