Nutrifitx Chili: A Meaty, Healthy No Tomato Chili Recipe to Boost Your Metabolism & Your Health
It’s cold, it’s rainy or snowy, and it’s that time of year when you just want to cozy up with a warm meal and spend time with the people you love. If you’re anything like us, chili is one of your favorite things about this time of year. (Honestly, some of us would eat chili year-round, but… that’s beside the point, right?) We have always loved a good chili, but the problem is that may chili recipes just don’t cut it when it comes to providing quality nutrition.
Plus, many people find that tomatoes cause bloat – that’s also the case for us. Combine that with beans, and for some it can cause a digestive disaster. Pain and uncomfortable bloating are NOT what we look forward to when we think of chili. Enter: Nutrifitx Chili. This no-tomato chili recipe is great for warm, cozy dinners, and leftovers make the BEST meal prep!
Serving: Servings are approximately 1 cup (or usually about 1 ladle full). Place your desired amount in a bowl alone or over brown rice or who grain pasta. We also love serving this recipe over lentil or chickpea pasta for a dinner-friendly “chili mac” that supports the Nutrifitx System core principles. Optional: Top with sliced green onions, 1/2 to 1 ounce of freshly grated cheese of choice, or even a dollop of sour cream.
Here’s what we love about this healthy, no tomato chili recipe:

Nutrifitx Approved brands linked in ingredients and below recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Butter (No hormones, grass fed preferred)
- 32 oz Lean Ground Turkey (We use 98% lean)
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1/2 tsp Salt (Sea Salt or Pink HImalayan)
- 2 cloves Garlic (or 2 tsp), minced
- 2 cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed (check ingredients)
- 4 cups Organic Vegetable Broth (or water; alternatively, see note to make your own)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Organic Chili Powder
- 1 Tbsp Organic Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Cumin
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large soup pot over medium low heat. When heated, saute onion and ground turkey, and season with salt. When turkey is cooked through, add garlic and stir until well combined. Minced garlic cooks very fast, so move to the next step quickly.
- When garlic is fragrant, add your broth (or water). Allow to come to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add each spice one at a time, stirring between each to ensure it is evenly combined.
- Add your black beans to the chili, and stir until evenly distributed.
- Turn heat to low/simmer, and cook partially covered for 1 hour (or, if you have extra time, you can allow the chili to cook for up to 2 hours to really integrate the flavors and get a thicker chili). Set timers, and stir the chili every 15-20 minutes to keep from sticking. Chili is done when desired consistency is reached.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Serve alone or over whole grain, brown rice or quinoa, lentil, or chickpea pasta.
Optional toppings: green onions, cilantro, 1/2-1 oz freshly grated cheese, dollop of sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
Make your own broth: Save all of your vegetable scraps from the week in an open ziplock back in the crisper drawers of your refrigerator. Dump them in a large soup pot, and fill with water until covered - lightly salt. Boil for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool. Remove vegetables from water. Pour your broth through a mesh strainer to ensure you have liquids only. Store in refrigerator for 7-10 days.
