Bean-less Sweet Potato & Kale Turkey Chili

Last night my fiance made me the yummiest dinner. He's been really showing me a thing or two in the kitchen lately...

After being forced to sit back and relax (which I am horrible at doing), dinner was served! Followed by some French Rosetta stone lessons and bed by 9pm. Perfect night, I'd say!

If you haven't visited the Nutritionist in the Kitch blog, I urge you to head on over and take a peek. I love her recipes and this one was icing on the cake...

Bean-less Sweet Potato & Kale Turkey Chili
(from Nutritionist in the Kitch)

Ingredients
About 17 ounces of extra lean ground turkey (roughly one package)
½ tsp salt
½ cup onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1½ cups canned diced tomatoes
1½ cups tomato sauce
¾ cup water
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp paprika
1 cup chopped kale
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into small cubes 
fresh cilantro, for garnish
scoop of greek yogurt, for garnish

Directions 

In a large skillet, brown turkey over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks into smaller pieces and season with salt and cumin.

When meat is browned and cooked through add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes, sweet potato, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, paprika, salt and bay leaf.

Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until potatoes are soft and cooked through, about 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Add ¼ cup more water if needed.

Add in chopped kale, and stir until kale is wilted.

Remove bay leaf.

Top with a dollop of fat-free plain Greek yogurt, and a sprig of cilantro!
Enjoy!
