Yes, you’ll find that delicious recipe outlined in the video with all of the ingredients, measurements, and instructions, too. Because I would never tease you with an incredible, easy, and healthy dish without giving you all of the details!!

RECIPE:
PRINTABLE:
INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 small sweet onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lb. ground turkey, 93/7
4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
2 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. paprika, can use smoked paprika if you prefer
2 tsp. salt
¾ tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
28 oz. crushed tomatoes, canned
1 cup chicken broth, or water
15 oz. sweet whole kernel corn canned, drained
15 oz. black beans canned, drained
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large saucepan, or Dutch oven, drizzle olive oil. Add onions and garlic. Saute over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Push onions to the side and add ground turkey. Continue cooking over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until turkey is almost cooked through. Crumble cooked turkey using a potato masher.
Add sweet potatoes and saute for another 2 minutes.
In a small bowl combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper. (You can also use 3 tablespoons of a homemade chili seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.) Mix to combine.
Pour crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and seasoning ingredients into the chili mixture. Mix chili thoroughly and reduce heat to low.
Cover pot and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Mix in drained corn and black beans. Cover and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Check to see if sweet potatoes are fork-tender before serving. If you would like a slightly thicker chili, mash some of the sweet potatoes to help thicken it up.
Serve chili over rice with corn chips, cilantro and sour cream. Enjoy!
