    Turkey Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are loaded with flavorful turkey chili and topped with cheese, sour cream and green onion. They make a comforting, nutritious meal that everyone will enjoy.

    It is the middle of spring and the weather has been crazy. One day it is 90 degrees, the next it is rainy and 60. This past week has been on the rainy and cold side and trust me, I know that I should be eating salads because swimsuit season is coming up, but I just wanted some good ole hearty comfort food. Luckily, this turkey chili stuffed sweet potato won’t break my calorie bank.

    Sweet Potatoes with Turkey Chili

    It starts off with a quick and flavorful turkey chili. Brown some ground turkey meat, add in onion, garlic and I like to sneak in some finely diced red bell peppers into the chili for some extra nutrients. They blend in so well, the kids don’t even realize they are eating them. Mix in tomato sauce, chili powder, beans and water. Simmer for a few minutes and the topping is ready. For the sweet potatoes, I prefer to bake them in the oven but if you are in a real hurry, you can cook them in the microwave for around 10 minutes.

    If you really just are not a sweet potato fan, this chili is great on top of a baked potato and I have even been known to put it on french fries…yes, french fries.
