I think the word “comfort” food insinuates high-carbohydrate, high-fat, calorie-dense foods, but it doesn’t need to be that way. They can be healthy and hearty, without being too heavy, So I’ve got one for you to try! I have a delicious, low carb ground turkey chili recipe I want you to try.
What makes this chili recipe low carb is there are no beans, just a lot of lighter veggies. So, if you’re looking for a lower-carbohydrate meal, this is a perfect option. And if you want, you can add a complex carb like rice or quinoa; that would be a great option. The last time I made this low carb ground turkey chili recipe, we topped it with a few tortilla chips for a bit of crunch, and it was amazing!
