Keto White Turkey Chili
Hearty White Turkey Chili filled with warming chilies, turkey (or chicken), onion, garlic, herbs and spices. The perfect hearty recipe for the day after Thanksgiving, when you have so much meat left you don’t know what to do with!
It’s so easy to turn leftovers into a hearty meal that everyone loves. Especially when turning those leftovers into something EASY with minimal cooking and zero effort.
I mean, after the cooking marathon that is Thanksgiving, the last thing you want is to be trapped in the kitchen with MORE cooking.
To make this Turkey Chili recipe as simple as possible with minimal prep work after all the tiring prep work from thanksgiving week, I have tried to keep this recipe as easy as possible. If you’re as tired as I am, you need the break!
Have you ever had white chili? It’s called white chili because instead of what you find in the usual chili con carne, it uses white broth, white meat, and mild green chiles. It’s absolutely delicious with low carb tortilla chips!
Now just because I have a special place in my heart for leftover turkey, doesn’t mean you can’t go out to the grocery store and grab some turkey and make this delicious, hearty chili tonight.
The last time I made this healthy white turkey chili recipe at home, I didn’t have any leftover turkey sitting around, so I roasted turkey thighs in the oven.
You could also find it already roasted at the grocery store, or you could use rotisserie chicken in a pinch.
Topping ideas:
• Avocado – Adding avocado gives the soup an extra creaminess.
• Green Onions – Dice up a few additional onions and sprinkle on top of the soup for an extra kick of flavor.
• Jalapenos – Diced or sliced jalapenos will go perfectly with paleo white turkey chili.
• Tomato – Ripe fresh chopped tomatoes are always good as a topping for soup!
• Green Peppers – I love the crunch of the fresh green peppers.
• Cilantro- We love this flavorful herb here in our house
