1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: 1-2 jalapeños (diced), 1 bell pepper (diced), 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Garnishes: Fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, sour cream or Greek yogurt, avocado slices
Instructions
Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
Cook the turkey: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened. Then, add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned.
Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Incorporate the sweet potatoes: Mix in the diced sweet potatoes, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all spices with the meat.
Add beans and tomatoes: Pour in the black beans and diced tomatoes with their juices. Mix well.
Pour in the broth: Add the chicken broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together.
Adjust the seasonings: Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and spices as needed.
Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings.
