Turkey, Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili

So I saw a recipe for Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili that someone recommended but in my world chili should have beans.

So I found myself in my kitchen mixing and matching ingredients until I came up with a super tasty chili that I think will become a staple recipe in our house.

Turkey, Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili
  • 1 pound of lean ground turkey
  • Salt, Black Pepper and Cumin to taste
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 small can of green chili's
  • 1 1/2 cans of tomato sauce
  • 1 can of black beans with liquid
  • 1 medium to large sweet potato
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cumin or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder or to taste
