By: Olivia Brant, RD, Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics & Registered Dietitian

This sweet & smoky turkey chili requires minimal prep and leaves you with hours of nothing to do but curl up on the couch (and stir, on occasion).
Ingredients

  1. Ground Turkey

    1/2 lb MightyMeals Bulk Ground Turkey

  2. Splash of Olive Oil
  3. 3/4 cup Dried Black-Eyed Peas
  4. 1/2 lbs MightyMeals Bulk Sweet Potatoes (Using Mighty Meals pre-cooked sweet potatoes saved me 40 minutes of roasting time and NO cleanup for any sheet pans!)
  5. 3 tbsp Tomato Paste
  6. 3-4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  7. 2 Bay Leaves
  8. 1 Yellow Onion, diced
  9. 1 Red Pepper, diced
  10. 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  11. 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  12. 1 tsp Salt
  13. 1 tbsp Ground Chipotle Chile (P.S. I like my food SPICY. If you don’t, scale back.)
  14. 1/2 tbsp Sweet Paprika
  15. 1/2 tbsp Apple Butter
  16. Cheese (optional)

Instructions 

  1. Brown turkey in a Dutch oven on the stove, with a little bit of olive oil.
  2. Remove turkey, add onions, peppers and sauté until soft. Add garlic and sauté for a minute or so.
  3. Add turkey back to Dutch oven. Add dry seasonings & mix.
  4. Add ALLLLL the other goodies, except the sweet potatoes.
  5. Simmer for 1 hour covered. Remove lid, stir, and simmer for 3-4 hours more, until beans are tender.
  6. Add roasted sweet potatoes for the last 15 minutes.
  7. Serve in bowls and add cheese to top it off, if you like.
