Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (no sugar added)

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed (optional for Whole30)

1 cup chicken broth (no sugar added)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Avocado slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Base: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Brown the Meat: Add the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

        Spice It Up: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the turkey and vegetables in the spices.

          Incorporate the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes (with juice), and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

            Simmer: Bring the chili to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

              Final Adjustments: Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper to taste. If desired, stir in kidney beans for added texture and protein (if not strictly Whole30).

                Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired.
