Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili

Growing up, my mom used to make a delicious chili using ground beef.
I didn't eat beef for many years, so I modified her recipe to use ground turkey instead.
I almost always have some of that kind in individual portions in my freezer,
but I was intrigued by this turkey chili recipe, so I decided to give it a try!

The Goods:
Ground Turkey
Sweet Potatoes
Onion
Tomato Sauce
Diced Tomatoes
Pinto Beans
Garlic
Chili Powder
Garlic Powder
Cumin
Salt
Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes

Peel and dice your sweet potatoes and set aside.

Brown your ground turkey and drain the grease.

On top of the ground turkey, place sweet potatoes, pinto beans and diced onion and garlic.

Now add your tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and spices.

Mix everything up in your slow cooker...

And cook on low for about 8 hours, 
until sweet potatoes are fully cooked and tender.

Serve yourself a bowl of this hearty chili.

Top with your desired garnishes, dig in and enjoy!!!

This chili was a hit!
I loved the addition of sweet potatoes,
so I'll absolutely be making this again!
