Turkey-Bacon or Vegetarian Chili

Makes six quarts. Freezes/microwaves well. 1 cup serving is only 4.2 grams of carbohydrates per cup!

Chef Allan’s Soybean Chili is great by itself, or with cheese & raw onions sprinkled on top. Plus it is the foundation ingredient of Low Carb Yummies Burritos & Tostadas.

(Note: We use whole dried organic black soy beans at the Low Carb Yummies café, and don’t know if the recipe might need modification for other beans).

We use a large crock pot, so adjust the recipe for different sized pots. Remember, soy beans and soy based products soak up water like crazy, and expand.

In a crock pot, add 8 cups water and:

2 T Paprika

2 Heaping T Chef Allan's Fajita Fiesta seasoning blend

1 Heaping T Chef Allan's Veggie Delight seasoning blend

1 T Chef Allan's Seasoned Salt

5 cups dry soy beans

Mix and let sit for 6 hours, NO LONGER. Add water if needed to just keep soybeans covered.  Next, turn on crock pot to cook on high setting for 1 ½ hours. After that, add:  4 t Hickory Liquid Smoke (available at supermarkets)

NEXT YOU'LL NEED:
9 Roma tomatoes (or what will puree to become the equivalent of 3 cups) (Roma's are lower carbohydrate than regular tomatoes). (get them as ripe as possible)

1 Large Red Bell Pepper

1 Large Green Bell Pepper

1 Onion (Maui onion is great if you can get it)

3/4 stick of butter

Large sauté/frying pan

2 Heaping T Chef Allan's Fajita Fiesta seasoning blend

1 Heaping T Chef Allan's Veggie Delight seasoning blend

1 T Chef Allan's Seasoned Salt

2 t Chef Allan's Garlic Blast seasoning blend

1 t salt

¼ Cup Water

Whatever amount of sliced, diced or ground turkey you’d like. We use sliced turkey breast at the cafe, very roughly about one inch pieces.

2 strips bacon, sliced/chopped

Puree the tomatoes in a blender.  Chop and sauté the peppers and onion in ¾ of a stick of butter. After they're about half cooked, add the bacon and turkey.  After cooked, add pureed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Boil for about 2 minutes and then add the seasonings and water, and boil for another 5 minutes. Then add mixture to beans and cook on low for 8 hours or over night.
