Description

Fat-free turkey chili is a healthy and delicious dish that uses lean turkey meat as the main ingredient, ideal for those looking for a low-calorie and low-fat option without sacrificing flavor. This ingredient refers to a preparation or mixture based on defatted ground turkey, combined with typical chili spices, such as cumin, chili powder, garlic, and onion, which provides a characteristic aromatic and spicy profile.

The origin of this ingredient is linked to Tex-Mex and American cuisine, where chili con carne is a traditional dish. However, by using turkey instead of beef and removing the fat, it is adapted to healthier and more modern diets.

Among its properties, fat-free turkey chili is an excellent source of lean protein, low in saturated fat, and rich in B-complex vitamins, iron, and zinc. Furthermore, it helps maintain a balanced nutritional intake, promoting digestion and weight control.

In the Hispanic world, this ingredient does not have a universal exact synonym, but it can be found under related names depending on the region, such as defatted ground turkey, lean turkey mince, or light ground turkey. In recipe contexts, the literal description is generally used to maintain the product's specificity.
