Ingredients4 servings
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, no salt added
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder
- Garnish: Greek yogurt, lime wedges, chopped cilantro
Directions
1
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, then sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
2
Add the ground turkey to the pot and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook the ground turkey until it’s browned, about 5-6 minutes.
3
Add the sweet potatoes, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp of chili powder and a pinch of salt. Stir to incorporate the spices.
4
Add the diced tomatoes, black beans and chicken broth, then stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
5
Turn off the heat and adjust the seasonings if needed. Pour the chili into a bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
Notes:
- Make sure that you dice the sweet potatoes evenly so that they finish cooking at the same time.
- Can also add a dash of ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper for more warmth.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Feel free to add more veggies like diced zucchini or carrots for a heartier chili.
Enjoy 🥰 ☀️
What other spice could I use besides cumin? It’s not a spice that I care for or could I just omit the cumin altogether?
Sounds good. Will give it a try.
Can I switch out the black beans for navy beans or pinto beans.
