Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, no salt added, drained and rinsed
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1.  Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and chili powder and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
  2. Add the turkey and cook about 10 minutes until browned, breaking into small pieces.
  3. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil, then add the sweet potatoes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the beans and salt and heat through. Add more chili powder to taste and enjoy with brown rice.

Ingredient Swap: Any beans will work! Try red, pinto or kidney. Don’t have ground turkey? Try with ground chicken!

Shopping Tip: Choose low salt/no salt added canned foods. If not available, draining and rinsing can reduce the salt content up to 40%!
