Crockpot Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

Turkey, sweet potato and red beans make a slow-cooker batch that is hearty without feeling greasy. Brown the turkey first and cut the potato into true half-inch pieces. Bigger cubes stay chalky long after the rest of the chili is ready.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a 6-quart crockpot and add the tomatoes, red beans, sweet potatoes, broth and salt.
