Ingredients




1 pound of ground turkey(94% lean)
2 can of diced tomatoes(large)
1 medium yellow onion – diced
2 smalls to 3  sweet potatoes( diced)
1 can of black beans(drained and rinsed)
1 can of white kidney beans(drained and rinsed)
1 1/2 tablespoons of cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons of chili powder
1 tablespoon of Rooster sauce(found in Asian section of every grocery store)
Salt & pepper to taste

Optional Add ins:

1 pepper(green or red) diced
1 to 2 shredded carrots(with cheese grater or by hand) ** I add these ***
1/2 can of adobo sauce
1 to 2 tbls. of agave nectar( helps round the flavors)
1 small can of tomato paste

Preparation

1 Brown the turkey meat in a skillet, until cooked through- about 5 to 7 minutes on medium to high heat. Then add in the onion and the sweet potatoes to the skillet, cook for about 5 minutes. 2 Throw all the kids (all the ingredients) into a large pot or your slow cooker. I usually cook the chili for atleast four hours on low in the slow cooker (crockpot) or 3 hours on the stove at low heat. 3 Sometimes, I will make the chili in the morning, and leave it on all day (for about six hours) and it taste fantastic as well! 4 This usually serves atleast two meals- dinner and lunch the next day for two people! We eat it with corn tortilla chips or my boyfriend loves his with pretzels!
