SWEET POTATO TURKEY CHILI
I love the blend of sweetness from the sweet potatoes and the little bit of kick from the cayenne pepper. The pumpkin pie spice seems a little strange, but it adds something that makes this recipe a bit different then your usual turkey chili...in a good way!

Steps:
- Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up chunks with the side of a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Push the turkey to the edges of the pan, leaving the middle empty. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and then the onion and garlic to the center of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin and coriander and stir, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and 1 teaspoon salt and stir until the paste begins to darken in color, about 30 seconds.
- Add the sweet potatoes, tomatoes and 4 cups water, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any stuck bits. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the chili has thickened and the sweet potato is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Stir the beans and chia seeds into the chili and heat through, about 5 minutes. Season with an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then taste the chili and stir in up to 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Spoon the chili into bowls and top each bowl with the scallions and a dollop of sour cream if using.
Tips:
- For a vegetarian version of this chili, omit the turkey and add an extra cup of beans or lentils.
- To make this chili in a slow cooker, brown the turkey in a skillet over medium heat, then transfer to the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Serve this chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
- If you like your chili spicy, add a chopped jalapeño pepper or a teaspoon of chili powder.
- For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
- To make this chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
