This Easy White Turkey recipe did not sound too inviting. A chilli which was white? Usually I like my chilli hot, bubbling and red to signify the level of spiciness. However, this is keto and Key for Keto are great at throwing new ideas in my direction.

The name of this meal said it was easy, and it was super simple. However I am just not sold on the idea of cauliflower, turkey mince and coconut milk going together. As such, there is not much for me to say on this…

Mixing Easy White Turkey Chilli
Adding ingredients

So I will inform you, what is best for keto – chicken or turkey?

When it comes to protein in poultry, turkey and chicken are both excellent sources. In 3.5 ounces of cooked turkey, there is 26 grams of protein, while the same amount of cooked chicken contains around 25 grams of protein. In terms of carbohydrates, turkey has 1 gram per 3.5 ounces of cooked meat compared to chicken, which contains 0 grams. This makes turkey a better choice if you are following a keto diet. Additionally, turkey is lower in calories and fat than chicken, making it more nutritious overall.

Overall, both poultry options provide an excellent source of lean, low-fat protein that can be incorporated into any healthy eating plan. However, if you are looking to maximize protein while keeping your carb intake low, turkey is the better option. The bottom line is that both turkey and chicken are healthy sources of lean protein that can be incorporated into a variety of diets. If you are following a keto diet, however, then turkey should be your preferred choice due to its lower carb content. No matter what type of diet you are following, the most important thing is to get the right amount of protein and other essential nutrients.

With a balanced approach, you can enjoy both turkey and chicken without sacrificing your health goals.

What we think

“Our onions and garlic lit up like …. Careful not to over cook the garlic, it burns very easy. Our mince had a lot of water content which made browning in the frying pan that little bit challenging…next time we will choose from our local meat store. We didn’t worry too much about this. Just don’t burn the garlic! We cooked the mince for about 8 minutes….it didn’t brown.

I rated this 3 out of 5 stars. Could have been a 4 but it was a little on the salty side, easily fixable just use a little less celery salt. That said the flavors work well together, while the recipe suggests it can also be a cold, meaty dip, we think it best served hot and in a bowl lapped up straightaway. We added the grated cheese at the end as it suggested to thicken up the sauce.”
