Instructions
Heat a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add oil, diced onion, bell pepper, and ground turkey, and stir every few minutes. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until meat is cooked through.
While turkey and vegetables are cooking, peel sweet potato and chop into roughly equal 1/2 inch cubes.
Add chopped sweet potato , crushed tomatoes, water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Turn the heat to high and bring liquid to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and lightly simmer for 25-35 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are soft.
Run a potato masher through the chili roughly to help thicken it up. Serve with diced green onions, cilantro, and/or avocado on top.
