Turkey & Sweet Potato Chili

This healthy turkey chili has a nice balance of flavors thanks to sweet potatoes and smoky chipotle chiles. We like to garnish it with creamy avocado, but melted cheese, chopped scallion and a dollop of sour cream will work well too.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced seeded canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 (28 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 5 oz. each), peeled and diced
2 cups unsalted chicken broth
¾ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
chopped avocado for garnish

Directions

Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add turkey; cook, stirring often to crumble, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chipotle; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broth and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover; reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Uncover the pot; continue simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chili slightly thickens, about 10 minutes, or until desired consistency. Stir in lime juice.
Divide the chili evenly among 6 bowls; garnish with avocado, if desired.
