When the meat is almost finished, add in some chopped fresh cilantro. 5 Just after the meat has been browned, pour the contents of the pan into the CrockPot. 6 On top of the ground turkey mixture, add in the can of chickpeas, the undrained can of diced tomatoes, the can of tomato paste, and the taco sauce. 7 Stir it all up, cover, and turn on to high. It's going to cook for about 4 hours. 8 Make some cheese sauce just before you are getting ready to eat and heat up the refried beans.
