Simple Turkey Chili

You’d never know this lean, low carb chili was made with turkey.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 5 oz onion chopped
  • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (16 oz) can kidney beans — drained, rinsed, and mashed*
  • 1 c water*
  • 1 T garlic, minced
  • 2 T chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cyenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

  • Mash at least half, if not all, of the beans to thicken the chili.
  • Instead of kidney beans and water, use 1 (16oz) can Chili beans with sauce.
  • For thicker chili, omit water.

Method:

  1. Cook the turkey until evenly browned.
  2. Pour the kidney/chili beans into a crock pot and mash.
  3. Add remaining ingredients.
  4. Slow cook on high for 1 hour.

Instead of cooking in a slow cooker:

  • Brown the turkey.
  • Stir in onion and cook until tender.
  • Add all ingredients into a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
