Introduction
A great low carb chili recipe with no beans and no onions! Start on the stove top and then let it simmer in the crock pot. I'm not much of a spicy fan, so I prefer my chili a little more on the mild side. This has a bit of a spicy burn to the back of the throat, but you won't be sweating or stealing your friend's water after eating this chili. Feel free to adjust the spices to your preferred level, or add hot sauce to kick it up a notch or three.For a keto diet with higher fat needs, use pasture raised beef and possibly ground or diced organ meats (not calculated here in nutritional stats).
This is also more IBS friendly than most chili recipes as it includes no beans, onions or garlic- triggers for many with IBS. If you're fructose sensitive, there may be too much from the tomatoes. It doesn't bother me, but I'm not terribly sensitive to fructose. A great low carb chili recipe with no beans and no onions! Start on the stove top and then let it simmer in the crock pot.

Ingredients
-
3 lb ground turkey, 93% lean
2 bags Pictsweet Chopped Green Peppers, or 4 green bell peppers, diced
1 28-oz can of Crushed Tomatoes
2 cans of Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chiles, with liquid
1/2 can of Mild Green Chiles Whole Can 4oz (by DESPROGESN)
1 fl oz Lime Juice (a decent squirt)
Adjust spices to your tastes, but I typically add (not included in nutritional calculations as your tastes may vary) approximately:
1/2 tsp of Lite salt (sodium and potassium)
1/2 tbsp of cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cocoa powder
Directions
* Brown the ground turkey on the stove top over medium high heat until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink. Make sure to break up the meat so there are no big chunks remaining.
* Add peppers and sauté 3-5 minutes, stirring often.
* Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, diced chiles and spices.
* Simmer about 5 minutes.
* Transfer to large capacity (at least 5 qt) slow cooker.
* Cook for at least 4 hours on higher (or longer on low) to allow flavors to meld. You can prepare this in the morning and allow it to cook all day on low while you're at work, etc.
Goes great with sour cream, tortillas (low carb to keep this a low carb meal!), etc. Top with remaining green chiles if you like a little more spice.
