Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound 99-percent fat-free ground turkey
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
3 tablespoons tomato paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
Two 14-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, optional

Steps:

  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up chunks with the side of a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Push the turkey to the edges of the pan, leaving the middle empty. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and then the onion and garlic to the center of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin and coriander and stir, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and 1 teaspoon salt and stir until the paste begins to darken in color, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, tomatoes and 4 cups water, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any stuck bits. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the chili has thickened and the sweet potato is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Stir the beans and chia seeds into the chili and heat through, about 5 minutes. Season with an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then taste the chili and stir in up to 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Spoon the chili into bowls and top each bowl with the scallions and a dollop of sour cream if using.
