Chipotle Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1 cup diced onion (about ½ large)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb. tomatoes diced
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. chipotle powder or smoked paprika
- Optional Toppings: Cilantro, avocado or lime wedges
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Heat oil in a large pot set over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add ground turkey. Break up turkey and cook 5 minutes. Add onions and garlic and continue to cook an additional 8-10 minutes or until onions are translucent and meat is almost cooked through. Turn up the heat to high
- Add tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broth, and seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered 10-15 minutes until chili is hot and sweet potatoes are tender. A longer simmer will intensify the flavors and leftovers are even better the next day
