A quick and easy chili made with ground turkey, sweet potatoes and spices – the perfect weeknight meal. It has just the right amount of spice to compliment the sweet potatoes without being too spicy for those of you who prefer a milder chili (you can of course bump up the heat if you wish).

INGREDIENTS:

• 20 oz 93% lean ground turkey
• kosher salt, to taste
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 10 oz can Rotel mild tomatoes with green chilies
• 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 tsp cumin, or to taste
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• fresh cilantro, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large skillet, brown turkey over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks into smaller pieces and season with salt and cumin.
2. When meat is browned and cooked through add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes over medium heat.
3. Add the can of Rotel tomatoes, sweet potato, tomato sauce, water, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt and bay leaf.
4. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until potatoes are soft and cooked through, about 25 minutes stirring occasionally.
5. Add 1/4 cup more water if needed. Remove bay leaf and serve.
