Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

Another McGowan family and 21 Day Fix approved dish for you to try! I recently had this on the menu for the slow cooker week my team hosted and it was a huge hit! This Turkey Sweet Potato Chili is full of fresh flavors, hearty ingredients and gives comfort food a whole new meaning! I will say, I could eat this every week! The nice thing is, the leftovers taste EVEN BETTER the next day! My husband who hates all things sweet potatoes actually went back for more and then requested it specifically for his lunch the next day. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I heard him tell me he liked it. I was fully bracing myself for the look of disappointment. (haha!) Not with this meal!

21 Day Fix Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

This chili would be perfect for company. It is something DIFFERENT. It is a colorful dish that is full of flavor AND nutrition. Your guests will thank you!

For even the pickiest of eaters, this is a fun twist on a traditional comfort food! This chili is just bursting with flavor and is full of melt in your mouth goodness! No beans in this chili, but the sweet potatoes really fill the void if you are an 'I must have beans in my chili' person.

  1. I made this recipe this evening for my family! It was so fantastic and being 21 day fix approved it fits right long with my extreme program I am doing. I never thought chili with sweet potatoes and no beans would taste like chili but the flavor is incredible. Thank you Angela for sharing your awesome recipes!!
