Sweet Potato and Turkey Chili

This seriously healthy version of "beanless" chili is a crowd pleaser!  I get asked to make this time and time again when we are invited to get-togethers! Sometimes I wonder...is it my company or my chili they wanted?? :)

I would label this recipe "healthy comfort food" on steroids!!  The cool thing is you don't get that "bean bloat" like you do from eating regular chili!

I have made this for large get-togethers, parties, game nights, weekend nights..you name it.  If you make this, be SURE to bring extra copies of the recipe!  You WILL get asked!
