Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in your pan and add chopped onions and ground turkey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1 T. or more of chili powder and brown. NOTE: Turkey usually is so lean that no draining of fat is required.
  • Add beans, tomato juice, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, chili powder, and cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

This sweet potato chili recipe is a favorite for a family dinner or for meal prepping or adding in individual containers for the freezer. Although the sweet potatoes add an element of comfort food from fall though the winter months, we enjoy it any time of the year! Enjoy!!
