Summary
Fresh chili and baked sweet potatoes are a great combination! This recipe is easily customized to fit your flavor style. Add a dash of cayenne or pepper to take up the heat a level or two. Try topping your sweet potato with green onions or a dollop of plain non-fat Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream). The options are endless to make this recipe your way!

Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prick the skins of the potatoes and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 60 minutes or until soft all the way through.

  2. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, carrots, celery, onion, bell pepper, spices, and 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4–5 minutes.

  3. Add lentils, tomato sauce, and broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes until lentils are soft.

  4. When the chili is almost done, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and turkey. Cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until crumbly and browned. Add to the soup for the last 10 minutes.

  5. Carefully slice each sweet potato open and mash the insides. Spoon 1 cup chili over each potato, then top with 2 Tbsp cheese.
