This Southwestern Turkey Chili is delicious with a little spice from the Italian turkey sausage.

I love making homemade chili. I will eat it for lunch and dinner. I love adding vegetables and beans. I will occasionally add pasta or rice. Soups are some of the easiest recipes to make and you can make a big batch and freeze the leftovers.

All in all chili is a very healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter meal. Around here we love chili so much we eat it all year long.

But I usually make it with ground beef the way my husband prefers. Every once in awhile I like to try to make my family meals a little healthier.

I've recently been watching my carbs as I try to eat healthier and lose some weight that has crept up on me since I started food writing.

Chili is such a versatile recipe. You can change a few ingredients and make so many different variations.

Today I made a turkey chili recipe that is a healthier, low carb version of the chili I usually make.

Even if you are not following a low carb meal plan you will still love this southwestern turkey chili that is packed full of flavors.

To spice things up a bit I used an Italian turkey sausage that has no carbs, is low fat but packed with flavor.

I also added a can of my favorite Hunt's fire roasted diced tomatoes. Since I discovered these fire roasted tomatoes when I made this Crock Pot Italian Swiss Steak recipe.

I immediately fell in love with the flavor. Now I add it to almost all of the soups and stews that I make.

Another great thing about this recipe is that it can be made in one pot from start to finish. It is a great one pot recipe.

Make the turkey chili

  • Remove the casing from the Italian turkey sausage and brown in a large Dutch oven, breaking it into bite size pieces. Cook the sausage until almost cooked through the center.

  • To thicken the sauce mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cool water until all the lumps are gone. Add to the pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. The chili is done when the sauce had thickened.
  • 8 servings.
  • Serve with a dab of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and some crunchy tortilla triangles.
