Sweet Potato and Turkey Chili

We love a cozy, filling soup or stew throughout fall, and this one is great for keeping everyone full during busy back-to-school weeks. This chili gets an extra boost from hearty turkey and sweet potatoes.

Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven (use one with a lid) with oil over medium heat. Add turkey, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and white parts of green onions and saute, breaking turkey apart, until cooked through and dry, 8 to 12 minutes.

  2. Add spice blend and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes (including liquid), stock, and sweet potatoes. Stir everything to combine and then cover with a lid. Simmer chili until sweet potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Remove lid. Let chili continue to simmer until it thickens to your liking. Taste and season with some salt and pepper. Add some more chili powder or some hot sauce (not in ingredients list) if you’d like it spicier.

  4. Serve chili with green parts of green onions, avocados, and plantain chips for dipping or crumbling over top. Enjoy!
