Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add ground turkey and break it up with a spatula. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until turkey is browned and no longer pink.
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, sweet potato cubes, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Add frozen corn and turn the heat up to medium-high. Let the mixture boil again for a few more minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat. Divide into bowls and top with cilantro, shredded cheese, and avocado. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra spice, add jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce.

Substitute ground turkey with chicken, beef, or plant-based alternatives.

Add black beans or kidney beans for more fiber and texture.

For a dairy-free option, omit cheese or use a vegan alternative.

Replace sweet potatoes with cauliflower or zucchini for a low-carb version.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

To reheat, use stovetop or microwave until heated through.
