The BEST slow cooker turkey, sweet potato & quinoa chili recipe! Soft cubes of sweet potato mixed with ground turkey, tomatoes and warming spices. A family favorite!
This is hands-down the BEST slow cooker sweet potato chili recipe. Keep it simple and vegetarian, with only the beans and sweet potatoes, or add ground beef if you want a little extra heartiness!
I love this chili recipe because it requires very little prep work. Diced sweet potato, diced onions and browning the turkey meat is the hardest part of this recipe. So that is saying something!
Turkey Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili is PERFECT in a pinch. Just throw everything in a crock pot that morning and let it do its thing! Your home will smell amazing and your family will love that smell when they walk in the door. There is just something so comforting about walking into you home and having is smell like mama’s cooking. Also, I guarantee you have most of these ingredients in your pantry already!
