Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the turkey thigh pieces until browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 10 minutes. Set the turkey aside. In the same pot, place the sausage, and break into chunks with a spatula. Cook and stir the sausage until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the onion, celery, and green pepper into the pot. Continue to cook and stir until the onions are translucent, about 5 more minutes. Mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; then stir in the flour. Cook and stir the mixture until the flour forms a coating on the sausage and vegetables and begins to brown, 5 to 8 more minutes.
- Mix in the sweet potato, thyme, oregano, chicken broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf, and bring the gumbo to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring often, until thickened and the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cooked turkey and hot sauce, and simmer until the turkey is heated through. Discard the bay leaf before serving.

SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI
This thick, smoky vegan chili comes together in just under an hour, and most of that time is hands-off simmering. You can use any kind of sweet potato here - keep in mind that the orange or garnet "yam" you see at the grocery store is actually a sweet potato - but you could also switch it up and use any peeled sweet winter squash, like butternut or kabocha. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor, which plays well with the orange juice, choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil; for a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy. (Get the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring and adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the brown sugar, cumin, garlic and onion powders, and stir to combine. Add the orange juice and let it come to a simmer. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes and lime juice. Season generously with black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil.
- Once the chili comes to a boil, decrease the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.
Tips:
- For best flavor, use a variety of chili peppers, such as cayenne, paprika, and chipotle. Fresh or dried peppers can be used, depending on what you have on hand. - Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili pepper to suit your taste. If you like your gumbo spicy, add more chili pepper. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less. - Be sure to brown the turkey well before adding the other ingredients. This will help to develop the flavor of the gumbo. - Don't overcook the gumbo. The turkey and vegetables should be tender, but still have a little bit of a bite to them. - Serve the gumbo with cooked rice or your favorite bread.Conclusion:
This spicy turkey and sweet potato gumbo is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold night. The combination of spices, turkey, and sweet potatoes creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
