This Keto paleo recipe is a delicious chili made with ground turkey and bacon, providing plenty of protein in each serving. Bacon also helps add fat to your meal. The chili includes chopped zucchini, bell pepper, and green onion. It's not spicy at all, but it has a strong peppery flavor. For those who prefer hot chili, red pepper flakes, hot paprika, or pepper and vinegar-based hot sauce can be added. This paleo recipe is made in the crock pot, allowing you to leave it for a few hours while you tend to other things. You can cook the chili for up to 8 hours on low heat while you're away at work. Since many thickening agents are off-limits on the paleo diet due to being heavily processed, nutritional yeast is used to both thicken and flavor the chili. There is also an option in the recipe directions to make the chili thicker. Nutritional yeast is an inactive form of yeast that has lots of vitamins and nutrients the body needs, including Niacin, Riboflavin, Thiamin, Folic Acid, and Vitamin B12. You can shake the flakes directly on top of food or stir them into soups, stews, and chilis. Let any leftover chili cool entirely before storing it. Keep leftover chili in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the chili in a large batch or in separate containers. Just reheat the chili on your stovetop or back in the crock pot!
Indulge in a satisfying and flavorful Keto OMAD feast with this steakhouse-style recipe. A perfectly cooked 10-ounce NY strip steak takes center stage, seared to your liking and finished with a luscious herb-seasoned butter glaze. Pair it with healthy oven-baked broccoli florets, tender and charred to perfection, and a soft, spongy homestyle bread roll baked like a muffin. The muffin is generously topped with a thick layer of whipped honey butter, creating a sinfully satiating experience that will leave you feeling completely satisfied. Don't rely on guesswork! Use an internal meat thermometer to ensure your steak reaches your desired doneness without toughening. Aim for 125 degrees for rare, 135 degrees for medium-rare, 145 degrees for medium, 150 degrees for medium-well, and 160 degrees for well-done. Whether you flip your steak once or multiple times is a matter of preference. A single flip ensures even spice distribution and a juicy center, while multiple flips create layers of crispy caramelized fat on the outside.
