Chili Bowl

Ingredients:
Tomato Paste (Small thin can) (5g's of carbs per serving)
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper
Colby Jack Cheese (grated)
Sour Cream
Salsa (optional)
Mission low carb tortillas (6 grams of carbs per tortilla)
Cayenne Pepper
Cajun Seasoning
Ground Turkey or Beef (approximately 2-3 lbs packages)
Cumin
Water
Heavy Whipping Cream
Mushrooms (2 small containers of pre-cut or approximately 10-15 medium size mushrooms sliced)
White Onion (One whole large chopped into large chunks)
Butter

1. Take out a large pan and a large pot, medium heat on both, take about 3 tablespoons of butter and place it in the pot once it begins to melt throw in your mushrooms and sliced white onion and keep stirring. You will have to add very little water to this recipe due to the amount of fluid mushrooms hold.

2. The Turkey will not need the pan oiled as it hols so much liquid, you may have to drain it out periodically as it cooks. Cook the turkey for approximately 10 minutes, it should start to brown and somewhat crisp. Meanwhile add 2 tablespoons more butter and about a tablespoon of salt to the mushrooms and onion mixture and stir.

3. The mushrooms and onions at this point will have had their liquid pulled with the butter and already look like a small soup in the pot. Add in your turkey at this point and stir together. Now you add all of your spices and your entire can of tomato paste. As everything is cooked at this point you can add your spices by tasting your chili. Do not go too overboard on the cayenne or black pepper or your nose will be running through eating the dish. If too much liquid has cooked out you can add in heavy cream and a very small amount of water (the amount equal to the can of tomato paste) to help stir and diffuse your spices throughout.

4. Serve in bowls with cheese microwave to melt the cheese and add sour cream and mix or put the mixture in a low carb tortilla with cheese sour cream and salsa and enjoy a tasty burrito.

The overall carb count of the recipe amounts to 25 grams of carbs purely from the tomato paste every other ingredient is so trace that you would only be adding extra from low carb tortillas or salsa (which has very little carbs anyway). This dish will last you more than a few meals as it makes roughly 2-3 lbs and for all 3 lbs or ground turkey I used with my chili is still half the allowed carbs for an entire day, this recipe is extremely safe as you could have it for breakfast lunch and dinner and only have half of your 50 gram carb limit for a day.

Per bowl serving approximate carbs is 3-5grams.

Per burrito with salsa approximate carb count is 9 grams.
