Anyone who cooks for a family knows that a recipe everybody likes is a find. Whatever you decide to make, there’s usually at least one person who refuses to eat it. For our family, this smoky chipotle turkey chili is an exception. It’s a favorite with everyone, and it’s become a family tradition. We serve it even on special occasions, like Sunday dinner and birthdays. When my college-age daughters moved out of the house, it wasn’t long before they called home and asked for the recipe.
Not only is this turkey chili warm, spicy and satisfying, it’s high in protein, low in fat, and packed full of yummy veggies. This recipe makes a double batch of turkey chili, enough for 12 servings, so you can usually freeze half of it for a day when you don’t have time to cook. If I’m going to bother to make this recipe, I will double the double recipe and make a truly huge pot of chili, because as a busy working mom, I love having freezer meals on hand.
I usually serve this chili with shredded cheese, diced avocado and sliced green onion as toppings, and tortilla chips on the side. I’m not the biggest fan of beans in chili, so I serve beans on the side as well, and let people add those if they want.
Keto Tortillas
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour blanched or plain
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 small egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the egg and water. Stir with a spatula until the dough comes together.
- Wrap the dough and chill in a fridge for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four equal balls. Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper.
- Cook the tortillas in a dry skillet for 6 seconds. Yes, just six. Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30 seconds.
- The key is not to overcook them. If overcooked they will not be pliable and may break.
- Serve with Keto Blacked Shrimp.
Notes
- Xanthan gum in the tortillas can be substituted with guar gum, gelatin, or flax seeds. If using the last two, increase the ingredients by 1 1/2.

Love this recipe! Just a note – my stove tends to burn super hot. I have an electric one, not a gas one. I made this recipe and I kept having to add water to keep it from burning at the bottom of the pot. If you’re like me and your stove gets super hot, make sure to add 4-5 cups of water when you add the tomatoes.

Thanks for the tip! Not everyone’s stove is the same.
