I don’t often use ground turkey, as I find it a bit dry, but in dishes like this with lots of sauce it is lovely as it absorbs all the flavour and is great for an alternative to ground beef as it is a lot lower in fat.
This works well with a variety of sides, but my favorite is to serve it over my perfect syn free fries topped with a dollop of sour cream (for a few syns) and some cheddar from my healthy extra A choice and then sliced spring onion – delish!!
This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

November 1, 2016 at 8:27 pmI haven’t yet, but this would totally work in a instant pot, just do all the browning as per the recipe on saute mode, and then cook using the chilli option with a natural pressure release 🙂
I am glad you like my site – enjoy!

March 8, 2017 at 7:40 amHi you mention in method 4 to add the brussels, am I missing them in the ingredients? Your advice would be greatly appreciated as I follow recipes to the letter as I’m a hopeless cook. x

August 10, 2017 at 8:23 pmMade a big batch of this chilli for my work lunches this week & paired it first with a baked potato & topped with cheese, then with boiled rice. Really tasty! As the week goes on it’s even more flavoursome! Will definitely be made again, especially as it’s so easy to make!
