Ingredients

- 2 medium Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 15-oz cans Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 28-oz can Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place an approximately 30 cm heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven on the stove and add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Turn the heat to medium (175°C).
- 2Add the 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and looks slightly see-through, about 5 minutes. Add the 3 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more, until you can smell its fragrance.
- 3Add the about 680 g of ground turkey to the pot. Use a spoon to break up the meat into smaller pieces. Cook, stirring often, until the turkey is no longer pink and is browned all over. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- 4Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper over the turkey mixture. Stir everything together and cook for 1 minute, until the spices are fragrant.
- 5Pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth. Add the 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced, the 2 15-oz cans of black beans, rinsed and drained, and the 1 28-oz can of diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.
- 6Turn the heat up to bring the chili to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally. The chili is ready when the sweet potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
- 7Ladle the hot chili into bowls. Top each serving with the 1 medium avocado, diced, and a dollop of the 1/2 cup dairy-free sour cream.
