Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 2 medium Sweet potatoes (diced)
• 28 oz Diced tomatoes
• 1 can Black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (frozen)
• 1 medium Onion (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp Chili powder
• 1 tbsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot on the stove and set the heat to medium (350°F / 175°C). Add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the 1 medium onion, diced, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
2. 2Add the 1 lb of ground turkey to the pot. Cook, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes, until it is no longer pink and is fully browned.
3. 3Stir in the 3 cloves of garlic, minced, along with the 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4. 4Add the 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced, the 28 oz of diced tomatoes, the 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained, the 1 cup of corn kernels, and the 1 cup of chicken broth to the pot. Stir everything together.
5. 5Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally and check for doneness by piercing the sweet potato pieces with a fork; they should be tender.
6. 6Season the chili with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
7. 7Serve the Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili hot.
