Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground turkey Preferably 93% lean
  • 2 medium Sweet potatoes Peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 15 oz Kidney beans Canned, drained, and rinsed
  • 1 cup Sweet corn Frozen or canned
  • 2 medium Carrots Peeled and finely diced
  • 28 oz Crushed tomatoes For the tomato-based sauce
  • 1 cup Chicken broth Use low-sodium if preferred
  • 2 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese For garnish
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream For garnish
  • 2 tbsp Green onions Chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until completely browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the diced sweet potatoes, carrots, chili powder, and ground cumin to the pot. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the spices become fragrant.
  • Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, kidney beans, and sweet corn. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer the chili for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and carrots are perfectly fork-tender.
  • Ladle the hot stewed chili into bowls and garnish each serving with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh green onions.
