One Pan: Low Carb Sugar Free 'Philly Cheesesteak'
Who says you have to enjoy a Philly Cheesesteak in a hoagie roll? Who says you even have to use beef?
Not this girl.
Welcome to the one-pot, low carb, no added sugar version. Since I really started watching my carb/sugar intake I have been throwing together a lot of one-pot or one-skillet meals. I’ve tried so many over the years that I can’t even remember them all. Since YUM is just about a year old, I’ve been trying to go through some of the ones I created before starting YUM and creating them again.
What’s great about these meat bowls is that you can pretty much throw anything in them and create a great meal. That is how I ended up creating this mock Philly Cheesesteak.
I had some green bell peppers that were in dire need of attention and had half on an onion that was just getting to be tossed into the pot for vegetable stock. I decided to chop the onions and peppers up and saute them.
Then I added 1 pounds of ground turkey along with some seasoning. I picked turkey to keep the calories lower. Since I am not eating carbs with this I will eat a bit more of the meal. Using turkey keeps the calories in check.
Once plated I topped with some mozzarella cheese.
Dinner was done in under 3o minutes. For those who need carbs, you can add this to some rice or put it inside a hoagie roll or french bread loaf. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and flavors.

Look at you being all rebellious over there. This sounds REALLY good to me. Nom!
I’m trying to cut down on sugar also. I love this idea! I think my family would like it also.
That looks amazing. I use ground turkey because I do not like ground beef for some odd reason. We love dishes like this – though my boys will put it on a bun!
Ground turkey is much better for you anyway. Why is it that boys like anything on a bun?
This sounds really good to me. I love that it’s just one dish, too!
I LOVE this recipe. Using turkey instead of beef is a great idea, and I always just eat the inside of a Philly anyway.
Ground turkey is all we use in place of ground beef. This looks so good!
This looks yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
That looks fantastic. Great and easy meal.
I love Philly Cheese Steak. It is so great that you made it better for you!
Ooh I love this idea! No hoagie roll! Who needs carbs?! 😉
This looks delicious and so simple to make. I can not wait to try this.
I’ve done thelow carb diet and it’s not bad but it always bothers my stomach. This looks delish.
This looks really delicious! I haven’t had cheese steak in a very long time! Yummy
I can live on Philly cheesesteak alone. A low-car version’s even better.
That looks so delicious!! I bet my family would totally enjoy the cheesesteak.
I am loving these low carb, sugar free recipes that I have been seeing lately. It is the healthiest way to eat and this looks really delicious.
I love Green peppers. This looks very tasty and yummy.
I was born in Philly and I LOVE cheesesteaks. I’ll have to try this recipe! It looks quick and easy!
That sounds really good right now. I just ate, but I want some of this cheesesteak in my belly 😛
Sounds like a yummy dish! I haven’t had a philly cheese steak in many years
Love one pan meals! We did something like this tonight and the kids loved it! This looks great!
Thinking outside of the box is cool. 🙂 Your recipe sounds like one my philly loving husband would really enjoy!
I love that it’s one pan! Less dishes for me
I so would love to make this for dinner this week, I will have to somehow hide the onions or make the kids pick them out because I LOVE Opinions but they do not. LOL Appreciate this recipe idea, it’s so simple and affordable.
I have to cut down a lot of stuff but I think if I make this I could actually eat it with my stomach issues. I think as long as I dice things up smaller this sounds so good I might give this one a try.
Oh this looks delicious! Need the right cheese but otherwise I think I can do this here.
I like the idea of low carb Philly Cheesesteak! I wish I ate bell peppers!
Yummy! And those that want the carbs can have it on a roll and those that don’t can have I like his.
Thanks for sharing on Tasty Tuesdays.
I’ve never made cheesesteaks with ground turkey before. We are trying to eat healthier, so I am definitely going to give it a try soon!
Me either! It was an inspired by dish I whipped up on a whim and this is what I ended up with!
That looks and sounds super yummy! Thanks for sharing.
Look at all that hot sauce in the background. Someone likes things a bit spicy!
Oh Matt. We buy them when we take trips and one of our parents is always buying him a gift pack. I like some of them, but my go-to is always Franks Red Hot.
Can I just scream YUMMY! This looks so good. I need to try it.
This looks like a yummy quick and easy meal! Awesome!
This sounds really yummy. Also, a great quick dinner idea for the weeknights. Thanks!
I have got to try this! Philly Cheese steaks are one of my favorite meals!
Delicious recipe that I can enjoy without any guilt lol I love this and have to give it a try!
This looks so good! Philly cheese steaks are a hit in my house. I think I will make this for dinner tonight!
As a Philly girl it pains me to see healthy “Philly” cheesesteak. Our cheesesteaks are made to have 8 pounds of grease and decadence. This does look yummy, however, and I may try it one night! Thanks for linking up at #TYSH
My step mother-in-law is born and raised Irish from Philly. She picked on me a bit, but she loves that it’s a dish ‘inspired by’
Hubby loves philly cheesesteaks so I’m going to be sharing this recipe with him. I know he’ll love it!
Now that looks pretty amazing. I would love to try it.
Ohhh cool. I should share this to our cook – and have him cook it for us.
You had me at one pan! This looks awesome and easy to make!
I need to start doing more of these!
Looks like a great weeknight meal. We are always on the lookout for those!
Not only is this healthy, but it is super simple to make! Thank you so much for another great recipe to add to our line up.
You are very welcome!
I love it Chrystal! So easy and delicious. Good ingredients always make great meals. You just can’t go wrong with fresh ingredients. I love chicken Philly sandwiches so why not turkey. And like others have said……….our favorite is always the filling inside the bread anyway. Thanks for sharing this over at Let’s Get Real.
Oooh, that sounds and looks really yummy! Pinned! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday.
