Instructions
Stove top Directions
- Heat oil in a medium or large pot set over medium-high heat.
- When oil starts to shimmer, add ground turkey. Break up turkey with a wooden spoon and cook 5 minutes.
- Add onions and garlic and continue to cook an additional 8-10 minutes or until onions are translucent and meat is almost cooked through.
- Turn up the heat to high. Add tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broth, and seasonings and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered 10-15 minutes until chili is hot and sweet potatoes are tender. A longer simmer will intensify the flavors and leftovers are even better the next day.
Slow Cooker Directions
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat.
- When oil starts to shimmer, add ground turkey. Break up turkey with a wooden spoon and cook 5 minutes.
- Add onions and garlic and continue to cook an additional 8-10 minutes or until onions are translucent and meat is almost cooked through.
- Transfer meat to the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients; tomatoes through chipotle chili.
- Cover and cook on LOW heat for 6-7 hours or until sweet potatoes are tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper before serving.

Instant Pot Directions

- When the oil starts to shimmer, add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 minutes.

- Add remaining ingredients; tomatoes through chipotle chili.
- Lock lid in place and cook on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Allow for 5-10 minutes of natural pressure release before flipping the vent valve to the ‘venting’ position to release residual steam. Taste and season with salt and pepper before serving.
