Cooking Instructions
- Heat avocado oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add chopped onion, season with salt and garlic powder, and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
- Add ground turkey to the pot. Sprinkle in onion powder, paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook while stirring frequently until the turkey is fully browned with no pink remaining.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more chili powder or cayenne if desired.
- Reduce heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to thicken and develop flavor.
- Serve hot, optionally topped with keto-friendly garnishes such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado slices.
Notes
- Toast spices briefly after adding to enhance aroma and flavor.
- Simmer uncovered to allow sauce to thicken naturally.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to control heat level.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
