Equipment
- Large pot
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp cooking fat of choice (such as avocado oil or olive oil)
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1 cup diced yellow onion (about ½ large)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces fire-roasted canned diced tomatoes (may sub regular diced tomatoes)
- 1 medium or large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4–½ tsp chipotle powder (may sub smoked paprika)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, diced avocado, lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it browns, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the onion and garlic. Cook for another 8-10 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the turkey is cooked through.
- Turn heat to high and add the diced tomatoes, sweet potato cubes, chicken broth, and all the seasonings. Stir to combine.
- Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- For a thicker consistency, stir in 3 tablespoons of tomato paste. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
