| Spicy Turkey Chill |
A low fat alternative to beef which still provides tasty chilli flavour. Turkey, in comparison to beef, is leaner and cheaper. This recipe also constitutes as low carb because you have the option to add them or not. It can be accompanied by rice, a jacket potato, pitta bread, wedges or (as I chose) a flatbread. Whether you need the energy fuel or not, here are the details of this lean, low fat retake on the traditional Chilli Con Carne!
Things you'll need:
Serves 2
- 250g Turkey Mince*
- 1 x Pepper
- 1 x Onion
- 1 x Can Red Kidney Beans
- 1 x Chopped Tomatoes
- 1/2 x Chilli Pepper
- 1 x tsp Cumin
- 100ml Beef Stock (Optional)**
* These days, Turkey breast mince is the same price as minced beef. However, Turkey thigh mince is a lot cheaper!
** Some people might miss the normal 'beefy' taste of their chilli, so add a stock cube to enhance some of that flavour instead.
Price overall: £2.41
Per Serving: £1.20
Cooking Instructions:
- Heat Oil in a Large Pan. Add the chopped Onion and fry until golden. Then add the Turkey Mince, break the mince apart and cook until browned
- Add the chopped Pepper and Chilli Pepper until soft
- Add the Cumin, Red Kidney Beans, Chopped Tomatoes and Beef Stock (Optional) and stir altogether. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
A relatively quick, cheap and tasty meal which is suitable for any night of the week. This is also a good dish to cook up for a group of friends or cook larger portions to freeze for another time. So next time you fancy a bit of warm comfort food but don't want the extra sat fats, make the substitution from beef to Turkey.
