Healthy chili recipes anyone?



Recommended Posts

I am looking ahead to when I can eat more normal foods. In about 6 weeks, when it is getting cold outside, I would like to have a couple healthy WLS friendly chili recipies. Perhaps with turkey? Any good recipes out there?

I don't really use recipes much but I make a turkey chili in the crock pot that is pretty good.

I use turkey tenders, Tomato sauce, canned diced tomatoes, canned green chilis, canned pinto Beans, canned corn. (I should skip the corn)

I saute onions, zucchini, red peppers and carrots.

For seasoning I put in chipotle powder, paprika, garlic salt, onion powder and a McCormicks gluten free chili mix.

I throw everything in the crock pot until the turkey is cooked. Take out the turkey, dice and throw it all back together.

I think McCormick does a low sodium chili seasoning if you want to cut down on the salt.

1lb ground turkey

1 can diced Tomato

1 can tomato paste

1 red onion diced

1 green pepper diced

3 celery sticks chopped

(I like flavorful and fragrant spices so I double up on the spices but this is what the recipe says)

1.5 tsp Cumin

1.5 tsp chili powder cayenne pepper

1.5 tsp salt

0.5 tsp black pepper

I also add cayenne pepper

I get the marmite on Amazon. It adds a lot.

I generally begin with this as my starter and then add whatever appeals to me at the time.....onions, jalapeños, occasionally a habanero, occasionally use Beans, etc, etc.

I brown turkey meat, add a full jar of chunky salsa, one can of red kidney Beans, garlic and hot sauce to taste(buffalo sauce adds good flavor). Simmer for about 20 minutes.

Has anyone been able to recreate the crunch of fritos, etc in chili? I love chili but I love it loaded with cheese, sour cream, and fritos. So... [emoji2

I use the tortilla strips in the salad topping aisle, 2 tbsp are only 30 calories and 4 carbs.
