Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juices
- 1 (14 ounce) can red kidney beans drained
- 1 pound sweet potatoes peeled & diced, see note
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- salt & pepper to taste
- Toppings (optional, to taste): cheddar cheese, cilantro, avocado, sour cream/Greek yogurt, scallions, etc.
Instructions
- Add the oil to a soup pot and sauté the onion over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking the meat up with your spoon and stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the turkey turns white on the outside.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for salt & pepper. Give it a good stir.
- Increase the heat and bring the chili to a boil. Once it's bubbling, reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot with the lid slightly open. Let it cook for 15-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes have softened (depends how big you cut the pieces). I like to give it an occasional stir.
- Season with salt & pepper if needed and serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- Sweet potato sizing can vary wildly, so it's best to go by weight. I used one sweet potato that weighed about a pound (16 ounces). Some grocery stores carry smaller ones, so you may need more than one to make up a pound. I cut my sweet potato into roughly 1" pieces, but you can definitely chop it smaller.
- You can use hot paprika or smoked paprika instead of regular paprika if you wish.
- This chili is pretty forgiving... you can add more or less turkey and more or less sweet potato... it's all good. I encourage you to adjust the spices to your taste as well.
- This chili is also in the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
