Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

What you need

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin

The easy way

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; brown the ground turkey, breaking it into crumbles, until it reaches 165°F.
2. Add onion and cook until softened, then stir in garlic, chili powder, and cumin for one minute.
3. Add sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes, and broth; bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed; cool completely before refrigerating leftovers.

Use your senses. Times are guardrails. Look for the color, texture, and doneness cues in the steps, and refrigerate perishable leftovers promptly.
