Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook 1 lb ground turkey for 5-6 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon until no longer pink, transferring to the slow cooker.
Step 2: Add 1 large diced sweet potato, 1 diced green bell pepper, and 1 tsp cumin to the slow cooker around the turkey.
Step 3: Pour in 14 oz drained fire-roasted tomatoes and 1 cup chicken broth, then stir in 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
Step 4: Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours until sweet potatoes are tender and flavors meld.
Step 5: Remove the lid and cook uncovered on HIGH for 20 minutes to thicken the chili slightly, stirring occasionally until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
