Cozy Turkey Sweet Potato Chili Recipe

Note:)

• For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the sweet potatoes beforehand to enhance their natural sweetness. And if you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños. This chili also freezes well, so make a big batch and enjoy it throughout the week!
