Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the ground turkey to the slow cooker and break it into small pieces with a spoon.
  • Place the diced sweet potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic on top of the turkey.
  • Add the rinsed black beans and the can of diced tomatoes with their liquid.
  • Sprinkle in the chili powder and cumin, then pour the chicken broth over everything.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir gently to combine the ingredients.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours until the sweet potatoes are soft and the turkey is fully cooked.
  • Stir once more before serving to check the seasoning.

Notes

The sweet potatoes release enough starch to thicken the chili naturally, so avoid adding extra thickeners. Leftovers store well in the fridge for three days and reheat smoothly on the stove with a splash of broth if needed. For a milder version, reduce the chili powder by half before cooking.
