Making Sweet Potato Turkey Chili is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it heat up.
2. Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
4. Incorporate Spices: Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey and onion mixture.
5. Add Sweet Potatoes: Fold in the diced sweet potatoes, mixing them into the turkey mixture.
6. Add Tomatoes and Beans: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and black beans. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
7. Pour in Chicken Broth: Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
8. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
9. Taste and Adjust: Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary. If you prefer more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
10. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
