Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 large sweet potato, diced into 1″ cubes, (or 2 medium)
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 4ounce can diced green chiles
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 1 28ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 14ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander

Instructions

Slow Cooker:

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the ground turkey and cook until turkey is browned making sure to crumble the turkey with a spatula as it cooks.
  2. Place the ground turkey into the slow cooker. Stir in the sweet potato, bell pepper, diced green chiles, chicken broth, jalapeño, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings.
  3. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or high heat for 3-4 hours.
  4. Serve warm and garnish with your favorite toppings.

Instant Pot:

  1. Set instant pot to sauté setting. Add avocado oil to the interior pot, followed by the garlic, and onions. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until onion begins to soften. Add ground turkey, and cook breaking up chunks and browning meat until no longer pink.
  2. Turn the instant pot sauté setting off, by pressing cancel. Add the sweet potato, bell pepper, diced green chilies, chicken broth, diced jalapeño, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and seasonings. Stir well.
  3. Put the instant pot lid on, and set the vent to “sealing”. Cook on high pressure (manual) for 15 minutes. The Instant Pot may take 10-15 minutes to warm up, and then the timer will start to count down from 15 minutes. Once the timer goes off, quick release to vent the pressure immediately. Serve warm.
