The wonderful thing about chili is it’s infinitely customizable. Our turkey sweet potato recipe is the perfect example; it contains no beef or tomatoes and includes sweet potato puree or canned pumpkin for a hint of sweetness and extra nutrition. It’s a wonderful dish to start on a cool morning, as much of the cooking is done in a slow cooker. This just might become your new signature chili recipe!

Ingredients for Turkey Sweet Potato Chili 

• Ground turkey: 1 pound of already ground turkey gives this recipe plenty of protein.
• Onion: One small onion, chopped, is all you need for this dish. Feel free to add more if you enjoy loads of onions or omit them if you don’t care about them.
• Chicken broth: Chicken broth adds umami to this dish; you’ll need 2 cups for this chili recipe.
• Sweet potato puree or canned pumpkin: One 15-ounce can of either item adds color and flavor to the chili. It also saves time, as you won’t have to peel or cook sweet potatoes.
• Chopped green chiles: One 4-ounce can adds heat and makes the chili a little spicy.
• Spices: Chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, curry powder, oregano and salt team up to make this a wonderfully aromatic and delicious chili.
• Great northern beans: Rinse and drain one 15-ounce can of these beans for the chili.
• Sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced red onions (optional): These add-ons can be served at the table so everyone can choose their favorite extras.
