Crock Pot Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

This yucky weather we are having had me craving something warm and comforting for dinner. This chili totally fits the bill. I adapted this recipe from another awesome blog called He and She Eat Clean. You should all check out. You can see it here.

The seasonings give it some good heat while the sweet potatoes give it a little sweetness and a yummy texture. I hope you love it! Here we go:

Get out your crock pot and set it on high while you get ready to add your ingredients. I also can't say enough great things about crock pot liners...use them people! It will make your life easier. They are in the same aisle as zip lock bags and make clean up basically effortless.

First cube up two large sweet potatoes. And add them to the crock pot.

Next, dice a medium onion and add it as well.

Now pop open those cans and pour in the fire roasted tomatoes and black beans and give the whole mixture a little stir...no need to drain either one of them.

Next you'll layer in the turkey. Ground turkey is already pretty crumbly if you don't smash it too much getting it out of the package, which is good for this recipe. You don't have to be very careful...just disperse the meat evenly over the top of your vegetables.

To finish up, sprinkle your seasonings evenly over the turkey and pour the beef broth over the top of all of it. No need to stir...this chili makes itself!

I like to cook on high for 3 hours, give it a good stir and then cook one additional hour on low. If you'll be out of the house all day, 6-8 hours on low will be just fine.
