Ingredients

  

• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 260 g sweet potato raw, cut in 1/2-in cubes
• 16 oz 93/7 ground turkey
• 100 g white onion diced
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• 3 oz mushrooms sliced
• 15.5 oz light red kidney beans canned, drained and rinsed
• 84 g frozen corn kernels
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp chipotle chili pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Dash cumin
• S&P
• 52 g fat free cheddar cheese
• Handful cilantro chopped

Instructions

 

• In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and cubed potatoes. Add a good pinch of salt. 
• Cover and allow the potatoes to cook 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
• I add a splash of chicken stock about halfway. They should be fork tender by 12 mins.
• Remove from the pan, but keep them covered. You’ll add them back in later.
• In the same pan you were using, add some olive oil spray and sauté the onions and garlic. Add a good pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. 
• After about 6 minutes, add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for 3-5 minutes. 
• Add in your ground turkey and cook thoroughly. 
• Add in the can of kidney beans, cooked sweet potatoes and the corn.
• Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
• Add the cheese and cover again until it melts. 
• Top with chopped cilantro and whatever you typically put on chili! We added avocado and hot sauce.
