Ground Turkey and Biscuit Skillet

I’m trying to eat healthy. I really am. And yet, food is just so darn good!

What must all of the deliciousness be so full of fat and carbs?

While this recipe is not carb-free, it is lower in fat than traditional chili recipes because of the use of ground turkey instead of ground beef.

But the real star of the show is that soft and delicious cheesy biscuit on top! It’s the perfect texture that as soon as your spoon hits it, your mouth starts watering.

So if you’re looking for healthy ground turkey recipes, this is definitely one to try!

Turkey & Biscuit Skillet

Biscuits:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons salted butter
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese

Turkey Chili

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion (diced)
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
2 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can (14.5 ounces diced tomatoes)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

For the Biscuits:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter (or two knives) until mixture is crumbly. Stir in the buttermilk and cheddar until just incorporated.

For the Chili:

In a large, heavy ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onions. Cooking, stirring, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the turkey, tomato paste, and chili powder to skillet and cook until the meat is no longer pink.
Add the diced tomatoes (with liquid) and cook until the liquid has reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
