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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
