Instructions
1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add ground turkey and break it up. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink.
3. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, sweet potatoes, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.

Notes
To reduce heat, omit or reduce chili powder.
Sweet potatoes should be evenly cubed for quick, even cooking.
Leftovers taste even better—store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
