Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef broth or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the ground turkey to the pot. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small pieces. Cook until the turkey is fully browned and no longer pink.
  5. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the tomato paste and stir well to coat the meat and vegetables.
  6. Add the diced sweet potatoes, black beans, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, and broth. Stir everything together.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid.
  8. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  9. Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the chili is too thick, you can add a splash more broth.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
