I love to make a big pot of chili this time of year. This one smells amazing while slow cooking in your crock-pot. The sweet potatoes add a fabulous flavor and add a wonderfully healthy addition to this fiber rich chili. Each large serving has 311 calories and 7 grams of fat. Enjoy a bowl for dinner, eat it for lunch the next day and freeze the extras for another night.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
- 3 cups (~2 large) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces, roughly same size

- 1 (15 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- ¼ cup water, add more if needed
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Reduced-fat shredded cheese (optional topping)
Instructions
- Brown ground turkey with garlic in a large nonstick pan. Cook until no longer pink. Drain any fat. Add turkey to crock-pot. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well to combine. Cover and cook on Low Heat for 6-8 hours or High Heat 3-4 hours.
