Cook Time: 4 hrs
Total Time: 4 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure the ground turkey is thawed if it was previously frozen. Chop the onion, bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large skillet or pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and the bell pepper softens.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a spatula to break the turkey into smaller pieces as it cooks. Cook until the turkey is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the turkey is browned, stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices evenly coat the turkey and vegetables.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the chicken broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally. This slow cooking will help the flavors meld together.
- After 4 hours, check the consistency of the chili. If you prefer a thicker chili, you can remove the lid and let it simmer for an additional 15-30 minutes to reduce the liquid.
- Once the chili reaches your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the No Bean Low Carb Keto Turkey Chili hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado, if desired. Enjoy!
Tips
- Ingredient Prep: To save time, chop your vegetables and mince the garlic ahead of time. This makes the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Sauté for Flavor: Don’t rush the sautéing process! Allowing the onions and bell peppers to become translucent enhances their sweetness and adds depth to the chili.
- Ground Turkey Cooking: Make sure to break the turkey into smaller pieces as it cooks. This helps it brown evenly and ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin based on your spice preference. For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Simmer Time: The longer you let the chili simmer, the better the flavors will meld together. If you have time, let it simmer for longer than four hours for an even richer taste.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker chili, simply remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
- Garnish Ideas: Enhance your chili with toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced avocado. Fresh herbs like cilantro can also add a refreshing touch!
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months, making this chili a great meal prep option.With these tips, you’re all set to create a delicious No Bean Low Carb Keto Turkey Chili that will impress family and friends alike. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
