Turkey Chipotle Sweet Potato Chili

This recipe packs some serious protein and is chock full of nutrients, it's so tasty you won't even know it's good for you! This makes a big batch, perfect for dinner and and lunches during the week.

4 garlic cloves, minced
1 white onion, diced
1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tbsp. cumin
1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
1 medium/large sweet potato, cubed
1 can red kidney beans
2 cups chicken stock
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 can (6.55 oz) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (this adds some SERIOUS heat, for those who want less of a kick, only add 1/2 a can)
1/2 cup sugar free ketchup (sugar free is optional)
2 lbs. ground turkey breast

Saute onions and garlic in a small amount of olive oil in a large pot on medium heat until tender. Add cumin and cinnamon, salt and pepper generously. Add ground turkey breast, brown meat until fully cooked. Add chicken stock, crushed tomatoes and ketchup. Stir and bring to a simmer. Add carrots, sweet potato, kidney beans and diced chipotle peppers. Let simmer covered for 60 minutes (the longer the better) and let chili stand for 10 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nom nom nom nom. Enjoy!

  1. I enjoyed your post. It’s a lot like college – we should absorb everything we can but ultimately you need to take what you’ve learned and apply it.
