Ingredients

  1. 3 teaspoons olive oil
  2. 1 pound 99-percent fat-free ground turkey
  3. 1 medium onion, diced
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1/4 cup chili powder
  6. 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  7. 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  8. 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  9. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  10. 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  11. 4 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
  12. Two 14-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  13. 1/4 cup chia seeds
  14. 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  15. 3 scallions, sliced
  16. 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, optional

Instructions

  1. 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. 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
