- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 500 g turkey mince 1.1lb
- 1 red bell pepper diced into small cubes (approx 1 cup)
- 2 sticks of celery 128g / 4.5 oz
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon red chilli finely diced or to taste
- 1 teaspoon cumin heaped
- 1 teaspoon coriander/cilantro powder heaped / approx 1 ¼ teaspoon measured
- ¼ teaspoon mild chilli powder
- 14 oz / 400g chopped tomatoes (from a tin)
- 2 tablespoon tomato puree
- 1 cup / 250 ml chicken or turkey stock
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper or to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
To serve
- ½ bunch fresh coriander / cilantro
- 1 avocado
- 2 tablespoon sour cream
- lime wedges
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick sauté pan or cast iron skillet. Add the onion and fry for about 3 minutes on a medium / low heat until soft and slightly brown.
Add the turkey mince and cook for a further 3 - 4 minutes until no longer pink.
Add the red pepper, celery, garlic, chilli and spices. Sauté for 3 further minutes on a medium heat.
Add the tomatoes, puree, stock, balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos and season. Put a lid on and simmer for around 30 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens. If you want a drier chili, remove the lid during the last few minutes of cooking to reduce the liquid.
Check the seasoning/ spiciness and adjust to taste. Serve with avocado slices, coriander, sour cream and optional lime.
I like to serve this low carb chili with either zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
