Crock Pot Cannellinis w/ Turkey

2 small onions, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp chili powder, to your taste
1 bay leaf
1/2 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 lbs lean ground turkey
2  16 oz cans of cannellini beans (low sodium), rinsed and drained
1 cup fat free (low sodium) chicken broth
1/2 tsp pepper to taste
1/2 tsp salt to taste (if you didn't use low sodium ingredients, I wouldn't add salt.  Maybe just at the end if you think it needs it.)
1/2 cup of fat free sour cream (or just add a little to your individual servings)

So here's the thing...just put everything (minus the sour cream) in the crock pot.  Place the ground turkey on top of the beans and other ingredients to prevent overcooking.   Break-up the ground turkey a bit if you wish, or just do it at the end.  Whatever.  Remember the sour cream at the end, it really adds to the flavor but you don't need much.  Cook on high 4 hours or low 8 hours.
