Instructions

To a dutch oven or heavy bottom soup pot, add avocado oil, onion, red pepper, jalapeño and garlic with a pinch of kosher salt. Stir and cook until tender and onions start to caramelize around the edges.
Once soft, add in the ground turkey. Using a wooden spatula, break up the meat into crumbles and cook until no longer pink.
Add in the salt, chili powder, chipotle powder, smoked paprika and cumin. Stir and cook 1 minute.
Next, add in the crushed tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes, sweet potatoes and black beans. Pour in 1 cup of water, stir and bring to a bubble over medium to medium-low heat.
Cook covered for 45 minutes then uncover and cook 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender. The time will depend on how small or big your pieced of sweet potato are.
Taste and season with more salt if desired. Then ladle chili into bowls and top with any desired toppings.
