Turkey Chili

Low Sodium Turkey Chili

Here is a low sodium turkey chili that is such a huge success for tailgating, friend’s parties or on that Sunday night watching your favorite program on TV. The success of this low sodium chili is the salt free chili seasoning to flavor it all. The pre-made packets of chili seasoning you find at the store are sodium bombs and knock chili off our menu. The same can be said for canned chili as well. Sodium can run as high as 400 mg per packet and 600 mg per can of chili.

Ingredients

·         1 tbsp. garlic powder
·         2 tbsp. chili powder salt free
·         1/4 cup cumin
·         3 tbsp. onion powder
·         2 tbsp. oregano
·         2 tbsp. paprika
·         1 tbsp. sriracha sauce
·         1lb of lean ground turkey
·         1 large onion chopped
·         1 clove garlic minced
·         1 1/2 cup corn fresh, frozen, or no salt added
·         1 medium red bell pepper seeded and chopped
·         1 medium green bell pepper seeded and chopped
·         1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes no salt added
·         1 15 oz. can kidney beans no salt added, drained and rinsed
·         1 15 oz. can black beans no salt added, drained, and rinsed
·         1 8 oz. can tomato sauce no salt added



Preparation

To make the seasoning: add the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, paprika, and thyme to a mason jar.

Seal the jar and shake it up to mix. Keep the spice mix sealed in the jar in your pantry, where it will keep for a few months. 

For the Chili: Brown the turkey, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium high heat for 7-10 minutes until brown and crumbled.

Add the turkey mix, crushed tomatoes, corn, peppers, beans, sauce, and 3 tbsp of the chili seasoning mix to your slow cooker.

Cook on low for 4-5 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low 


Serve in bowls and offer toppings like low sodium hot sauce, finely diced red onions, sliced avocado, low sodium sour cream, spring onions and no salt added tortilla chips.

    Mrs/ Dash spices also have no sodium spices to pump it up. I love chipolte. I love the small jars. Keeps fresh for seniors or small families.
