You know I don’t know how to make a dish without packing in the veggies, right?! I could have just made a standard turkey chili recipe, but the opportunity was right there to sneak some veggies in on David and my parents during their visit, so I had to!

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1 package ground turkey (or 1 cup quinoa for vegan)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 4 stalks celery chopped
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes cubed
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • garlic
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 3 tbsp chili powder (we ended up adding more for more spice)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Directions

  • Saute ground turkey until fully cooked
  • Dice peppers and onions or buy pre-diced if short on time
  • Cube sweet potatoes
  • Toss all into slow cooker
  • Set to low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours
  • Serve topped with avocado or cheese or with tortilla chips

Notes

In general, American’s all fall low on getting enough veggies. When you can create a one dish meal that’s soooo flavorful and hearty, it’s a lot easier to get people to start thinking more about plant based meals. I love this healthy turkey chili because you can also switch it up based on what you have on hand.
