Tips and Recommendations
- For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice mixture.
- You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or lean ground beef if desired.
- If you prefer a thicker chili, mash some of the sweet potatoes with the back of a spoon during the cooking process to thicken the sauce.
