I know it may sound bizarre, but this keto turkey peanut butter chili is amazingly delicious! My family loves chili, and I’m always trying out new chili dishes and experimenting with ingredients and spices to make them. This is a great dish to serve for parties, potlucks, and get togethers, or anytime you want a special comfort food chili!
Let’s talk about chili!
Chili is a type of stew, and there are any number of ingredients, herbs, spices, and combinations of them that can go into chili. Most chili contains meat, but it can easily be made vegetarian. For meats, any ground meat or combination of ground meats works well. Chili can also be made with bacon, chicken, sausage, seafood, or steak. Many love their chili with beans and for others this breaks a cardinal rule concerning chili.😊And although it’s definitely a personal preference to use, if you want a low carb bean option, black soy beans are something you may want to look into. For sauces, chili can be made with red sauce or with green or white sauce. There’s also a variety of vegetables that can be added to chili. I think the one thing that can always be said about chili is that it’s amazing comfort food!
How do I make this keto turkey peanut butter chili?
This chili is incredibly quick and easy to make. For a time saver, I like to start sauteing my peppers and onions while my ground turkey is cooking. I used lean ground turkey and there was no grease, but if you use a fattier turkey mixture, you’ll want to drain any excess grease before adding the meat to the vegetables. Then you’ll simply add everything else to the stockpot and bring the chili to a boil. Next, you’ll decrease the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. This is a mild chili, but you can up the spice level on yours if you’d like. You can add some diced jalapenos to your chili to increase the heat level or can add even hotter peppers if you desire. You can also toss in some cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or some of your favorite hot sauce to make this chili spicier!
How can I serve this keto turkey peanut butter chili?
You have some great low carb options for serving this chili. You can serve it as is or top it with your favorite chili toppings. Some awesome topping choices include chopped peanuts, chopped onions, diced or sliced avocados, shredded cheese, sliced black olives or jalapenos, and sour cream. This chili pairs nicely with a green salad, using either your choice of lettuce or spinach. It also goes great with a side of coleslaw. You can also serve it with keto biscuits, cornbread, crackers, or English muffins. One of my favorite things to do is to serve a variety of keto appetizers, then serve chili as the main! This is especially fun to do for parties. This chili also reheats well in either the microwave or on the stovetop, so it’s great for leftovers as well.

Helpful Hints:
*I used 93% lean ground turkey for my chili, but you can use your preferred mixture for yours.
