Recipe: Easy Turkey Chili
If there were a gut-friendly chili cook-off, we think this ground turkey chili would win hands down. Sweet potato and leek are gentle on the gut but add plenty of flavor to this comforting dinner. It’s a dish that will satisfy adults and little ones alike.

Makes 4 servings
What you’ll need
- ¼ cup leek (green part only)
- 2 cups sweet potato
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93/7)
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Pinch of cayenne
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups canned diced tomatoes (no added salt)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 ½ cups water
- Cilantro (optional)
- Plain tortilla chips (optional)
Directions
1. Thinly slice the leek (green part only), and dice the sweet potato into ½-inch cubes.
2. Add the leek and olive oil to a large saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove and cook the leeks over medium heat until soft.
3. Add the ground turkey to the pan along with the cumin, paprika, cayenne, dried oregano, and salt. Stir-fry until browned.
4. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and sweet potato to the saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until the sweet potato is tender (about 15 minutes). Add extra water to the saucepan if the chili becomes too thick.
5. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro, and a few tortilla chips to serve (if using).
