Slow Cooker Turkey Chili with Sweet Potatoes


You Will Need:


  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 2 cans kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and chopped)
  • 3 large carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with juices)
  • 1 can tomato sauce (15 oz. size)
  • 1 yellow onion (about a cup chopped)
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper (chopped)
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil for cooking and browning turkey
  • 2 tsp. jarred minced garlic (or you can use 2 chopped fresh garlic cloves)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • optional toppings: cheddar cheese, green onions, cilantro, sour cream or plain yogurt.

Cook turkey meat in skillet with onion and bell pepper salt and pepper until turkey is browned, add to slow cooker, then add other ingredients besides the optional toppings 

You can serve this with sweet cornbread such as jiffy cornbread.  I like to eat my chili topped with cheese and green onion and eat with saltine crackers. 

Enjoy!
