Jay's Spicy Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

I looked at the top 5 recipes on this site, combined my favorite ingredients from each, plus a few of my own (Sriracha and adobe sauce), and, ta-da, here is my recipe—Jay's spicy slow cooker turkey chili. You can quickly cook the turkey, combine ingredients in the slow cooker, throw it in the fridge, and take it out to cook on low before you go to work. It works perfectly. Easy peasy! All the guys love it for football games, tailgating, and just plain old cold weather. From my table to yours, I hope you enjoy it! Serve it with sour cream and cheese to your liking.

Lumpia (Shanghai Version)

Lumpia Shanghai is a smaller, meatier type of egg roll that we Filipinos are very proud of! You could use pork, beef, or both. It's a very easy and yummy recipe that's great as finger food. We serve these spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.

Easy bacon-wrapped chicken in the air fryer. Amp up the flavor of your boneless, skinless chicken breast with this recipe! The breasts are butterflied, which you can either do yourself or ask your butcher to do it for you. You can then stuff them with cheese and asparagus, wrap them up in a bacon blanket, and air-fry. While they cook, toss a green salad, add a veggie or potato, and some bread, and you'll be enjoying your dinner in no time.
