Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
You can make this Sweet Potato Chili stove top instead of in the crockpot, but you'll want to sauté all of the chopped potatoes, onion, and peppers first in order to soften them up before adding the tomatoes and turkey. Once everything is in your pot, simmer for 45-50 minutes.
