Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and ground turkey, cooking until turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in diced sweet potatoes and red bell pepper, cooking for another 3–4 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30–35 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, or chopped cilantro.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace ground turkey with extra beans or lentils.

For added spice, include jalapeños or increase cayenne pepper.

Add a tablespoon of tomato paste or a splash of lime juice for extra depth.

Chili can be made in a slow cooker after browning meat and sautéing vegetables.

Stores well in fridge for 4 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
