1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups diced butternut squash
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leavesIngredients
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and onion. Cook until turkey has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks; drain excess fat.
Place ground turkey mixture into a 6-qt slow cooker. Stir in tomatoes, beans, peppers, garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin and oregano; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Without stirring, top with butternut squash in an even layer.
Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Gently fold in squash; stir in cilantro.
