Calories 176kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 5 cups)
- 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
- 2 15-ounce cans black beans drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups vegetable broth
Garnish (optional)
- sour cream
- jalapeño sliced
- cilantro chopped
- avocado diced
- Cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Brown the turkey. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Load the slow cooker. Transfer the turkey and onion to a 6-quart slow cooker with a slotted spoon, leaving the liquid behind. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt.
- Add the rest. Add the sweet potatoes and black beans. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste and broth.
- Cook. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours, removing the lid for the last 45 minutes.
- Serve. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve hot with the toppings.
Notes
SLOW COOKER TIMES
ON LOW: 6 hoursON HIGH: 4 hours
Either way, remove the lid for the last 45 minutes so the chili thickens. Slow cookers vary; the sweet potatoes are done when a fork slides in easily.
FOOD SAFETY
Ground turkey is safe at 165º Fahrenheit. Reheat leftovers to 165º Fahrenheit on the stove or in the microwave.Nutrition
