Slow cooker meals are great for those busy nights when there’s not a lot of time to prep a hot meal. This Turkey, Sweet Potato and Veggies Chili Chowder is a great meal to utilize a slow cooker. In a slow cooker, add the sweet potatoes, magical trio (carrots, onions and celery), salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and garlic powder. Add…
the black beans, diced tomatoes, green enchilada sauce and 1 cup water. Cook for 2-3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low, until the veggies and potatoes begin to soften.
Once the potatoes and veggies have softened, add the zucchini, ketchup, corn and browned turkey (already cooked). Cook for an additional 1-2 hours until all veggies are tender.
Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a sweeter Chili, add a tablespoon brown sugar (I like my sweetness to come from a sweet moist cornbread). Add cilantro and serve.
This Chili Chowder is full of nutrients and flavor. The cinnamon adds a warm unique flavor that makes this dish one of a kind.
If you are looking to make this Chowder vegetarian, omit the ground turkey and add an additional can of black, pinto or red kidney beans.
