Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
Description
The chili starts by browning ground turkey until cooked through, then sautéing onion to soften. Black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and seasonings including cumin, chili powder, and paprika are added. Diced sweet potatoes are included to provide texture and subtle sweetness.
After bringing the mixture to a boil, it is reduced to a low simmer and cooked covered until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. The flavors from the spices and tomato base develop fully during this time, creating a thick, hearty chili.
The finished dish can be garnished with fresh jalapeño and cilantro for extra spice and freshness. This chili offers a comforting meal with protein, fiber, and vegetables in a warm tomato broth.
The recipe notes suggest that leftovers can be refrigerated up to five days, and ground beef or chicken can be used as alternatives to turkey without changing the overall method.
