Instructions

  1. Step 1: Dice 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Roast on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 lb ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned (8-10 minutes). Drain excess fat.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, and 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped). Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 cups diced tomatoes, 2 cups chicken bone broth, and the roasted sweet potatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Step 5: Cover and cook on low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and sweet potatoes are tender. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or chipotle heat as needed.
