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 love this recipe and it is made in the crock pot. I add extra Beans to increase the Fiber and Protein.

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.

Thank you @@suzyquzy, @@NikkiDoc, @@MayMarie, @@sc101071 for your recipies! They all sound yummy! Can't wait to try!

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.

Great product.

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... [emoji21]

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.

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