  • 2 15 oz cans dark red kidney beans or one kidney beans and one black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
  • 1 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 1 4 oz can diced green chiles (mild)
  • 1 ½ cups chopped celery (175g) large, chunky pieces

  • 1 large green bell pepper (125g) diced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener – monk fruit or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet on medium high heat, brown the ground turkey. Drain.
  • Add the browned ground turkey, drained kidney beans, canned tomatoes, celery, onion, green bell pepper, tomato paste, green chilis, sweetener, bay leafs, salt, dried marjoram, garlic powder, lemon pepper, and dried parsley to the slow cooker.
  • Combine all ingredients with a large spoon.
  • Start on High for 1-2 hours and then turn down to Low for 6+ hours, stirring ocasionally. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The chili is a thick consistency, you can add ½ cup broth if you prefer a looser chili recipe.
  • This makes a lot of chili with huge portions! It freezes great for up to 3 months.
  • To increase the fiber even more you can mix in more veggies like chopped carrots, zucchini, corn, or even diced sweet potato for extra fiber and color. Top with avocado: This adds about 3–4g of fiber per serving and healthy fats. Or you can add high-fiber sides like brown rice, quinoa, or a high-fiber tortilla for a complete meal.
