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.

This looks delicious! I’m currently in the process of making it now. Are you able to freeze leftovers?
Thank you, Sarah! I hope you enjoy it. Yes, you can freeze the leftovers.
Found this recipe looking for meals I could make that go with my new low-carb diet plan. It was so easy and SO flavorful. I feel like I’ve made other, way more intricate chili before that didn’t come out as good as this! The celery was new to me in chili too but trust it, it just adds depth and you don’t really taste chunks of celery (similar to onion). As long as you watch your tomato brands, this is a golden recipe going on favorites!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Made this for the first time last night. Delicious!!!
Great! Glad you liked it Mark!
With NYC hitting a record low today, felt like the perfect time to try this recipe. Love it. Flavorful and easy. I replaced the red pepper with 2 carrots because I’m sensitive to bell pepper. I also added a little extra Cayenne cuz I like it spicy! YUM!
A spicy chili is the perfect dish to have when it is cold outside! So happy you enjoyed this one 🙂
