This turkey mince chilli is a great recipe that is a nice alternative to using beef in chilli and great for those who prefer to avoid red meat. Turkey mince recipes are generally better for you than beef mince.
I believe turkey mince is just not used in enough recipes. It is a great lean meat and perfect for chilli like this. If you follow Slimming World, Weight Watchers (WW), Noom or any other weight loss plan you can usually count this turkey chilli within your allowances as turkey meat is naturally lean.

This turkey mince recipe was provided to me to share with you by eye health experts Essilor.co.uk who shared some useful information about eye health. Turkey is rich in zinc.
Zinc is concentrated in our retinas and helps enzymes that promote eye health. Niacin, also found in turkey meat, can help protect your eyes from cataract development.
Turkey mice recipes for healthy lunches
If you are eating healthily then you may have difficulty finding lunches for work. This is just one of many amazing lunch ideas I have found so do check out my other recipes for more ideas.
If you take lunch then you are so much less likely to buy food that inevitably will be less healthy. Taking a variety of food throughout the week to work keeps your lunchtimes interesting and stops you from getting bored.
Even if, like me, you work alone at home it can make such a difference having your food already prepared for you. Why not give it a go and make sure you build a variety of lunches into your weekly meal plan.
Making this unofficial Slimming World turkey mince chilli in the slow cooker
This meal could easily be made in the slow cooker by adding all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cooking for 6 hours on low. If you prefer you may like to brown the mince first for appearance but it isn’t necessary.
Before you start to think about recipes with your slow cooker here are a few tips which may help. If you find your meal is a bit watery take the lid off the slow cooker and turn it up high for half an hour this can help evaporate some of the water.
Using Slow cooker liners can save washing up if you are making something that often sticks.
Remember that nothing evaporates so you may need less liquid than in other recipes eg on the hob.
Get the best size slow cooker for your family there are lots of great ones on Amazon with many under £30 for a good brand and good size!

I was a little wary about using turkey mince as had an idea it would be dry – couldn’t have been more wrong. Lovely spicy chilli.
