Instructions
 

Sauté the Turkey: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.

        Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable or chicken broth to the mixture and stir gently to ensure everything is well distributed.

          Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the sweet potatoes are tender and flavors have melded.

            Serve: Once cooked, give the chili a good stir. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired.

              Enjoy: Pair with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal. Enjoy the cozy flavors of fall!
