Low Carb Turkey Chili Recipe
Did you know that low carb chili with turkey is ready much quicker than if you used beef? We are all crazy about this turkey chili con carne! To keep it Keto, I've omitted the beans but kept all the tasty flavours we all love in a good chili.

Calories: 314kcal
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
