1-Getting started: with sweet potato turkey chili is as simple as following a few clear steps. First, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until it turns translucent. This builds a solid base for the flavors to shine through.

2-Next, add the minced garlic and ground turkey, cooking and stirring until the turkey is no longer pink, which takes around 5 minutes. This step ensures the meat is evenly browned and ready to absorb the spices. Once that’s done, stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper if you’re using it, chicken broth, diced sweet potatoes, drained kidney beans, and fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juices.

3-Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot slightly, and let it simmer for 15 to 25 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and season with salt and pepper to taste at the end. Finally, serve it up with your favorite toppings for a meal that’s as fun to eat as it is to make. The total prep time is just 10 minutes, with 35 minutes of cooking, making the whole process about 45 minutes.
