Keto Friendly Chili FAQS
You might have a few questions about making low carb keto turkey chili so I figured I’d answe  a few of them for you:
Can I make this in the slow cooker? While I have not tried this, I am sure you could. You would still want to follow all the directions to cook your veggies and turkey. But then you could throw everything into the slow cooker to simmer. I would imagine you would cook it on high for about 3-4 hours, until it’s nice and thick.
Can I change up the meat? – Sure thing! Like the low carb keto chili recipe, you could totally use ground beef. I’ve even made it with a mix of beef and pork!
Can I add beans? Of course, you can! When I made Cajun Instant Pot Chili and vegan chili, I liked chili beans to add some bulk and fiber. I would recommend using chili beans here as well if you’re not looking for it to be a no bean chili!
It’s the kind of nourishing comfort food that gets you through these cold nights AND takes you through your next desk lunch.
Chili with a double threat?
I’m IN.

If you don’t want to eat beans you could also use small black pitted olives.
Dijon mustard and cilantro are always good to add to chili as well…
Taylor Kiser says
Yum!
Anita says
Yes, I have everything in my pantry. Just need to use ground beef instead of ground turkey because that’s what I have in my freezer. It’s going to be an awesome dinner tonight. 🙂

Made this the other night. Cut back on the spices as my wife is not a “heat” person. But we both loved it. Took a bit longer than I expected, but with two of us, it was a dinner and a lunch worth. I will sure make this again. I did use Cilantro rather than parsley and it was a good substitution.
Taylor Kiser says
Yay!! So glad that you liked it!!
Kimberlee Johnson says
This is wonderful!! Only question, where did you get your nutritional info? I put the recipe into Carb Manager & MyFitnessPal and they both gave me a carb count of 14 total carbs/11 net carbs with 3 g fiber per 1/6 of the recipe. I entered all the ingredients again by hand and still came out the same. What am I getting wrong?
Taylor Kiser says
As my disclaimer says I calculate with an online counter (spark people) so it may vary from what you get! Go with what you are getting if that makes you most comfortable.
Natalie says
I just made this for dinner and it’s absolutely amazing! Such a great, simple, recipe that tastes delicious and is very filling (perfect for this time of year). I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg just for fun and to add some warming spices. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
Yay! So glad you liked!
