This is a simple, basic chili recipe. Using extra lean ground turkey or chicken saves a lot of calories from fat but doesn't comprise on the flavor. Adding most of the seasoning to the meat while its cooking adds a lot of flavors to the meat. Letting is slow cook for 6+ hours allow the flavors to meld together.
This high fiber, high protein and low-fat simple turkey chili is a great meal on its own or made into a comfort food, like Chili Mac & Cheese casserole, while helping you stay on track with your health and wellness goals. If eating alone as a meal, try using non-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to add even more protein and keep fat intake low. Pair with whole grain tortilla chips or a high protein corn bread and add your favorite vegetable on the side for a complete meal.
This is the chili recipe I use to make two of my favorite winter high protein meal prep meals, Chili Mac & Cheese Casserole (link to recipe below) and Cornbread Chili. These meals freeze well and have a great nutrition profile to fit a variety of health goals and busy lifestyles. Since the cooking time is typically at least 6 hours, if not longer, I try to start the chili in the morning so I can finish later in the day. If I know I'm short on time in the morning, I'll cook and season the ground turkey the night before and refrigerator overnight.
