For the potatoes:


2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch pieces

2 tbls EVO

sea salt

preheat oven to 400 degrees, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, spread them out on a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a nice pinch of sea salt until soft about 20 min

Chili Ingredients:

a few tbl of EVO

1 large yellow onion diced (about  1 1/2 cups)

2 garlic cloves minced

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp sweet pimenton (don't be daunted by Gwynethian terms it is just sweet paprika)

1/2 tsp chili powder

1lb ground turkey

1 28oz can of whole peeled tomtatoes

1 14oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained

Chopped fresh cilantro and scallions (green onions) for serving is desired

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, pimenton, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes (until soft but not too brown). Add the turkey to the pan, break it up and cook stirring not and them until the liquid has been released and is evaporated and meat is nicely browned (this will take about 20 min). Add the tomatoes (liquid and all) and a pinch of salt and turn to high heat. Swish a little water in the can to get everything out of it and add this liquid to the pot too. Once the mixture has come to a boil, turn the heat to low and let it simmer for another 20 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon to to crush the tomatoes as they cook.

Add the beans and reserved sweet potato to the pot, and simmer for 15 more minutes. Remove, garnish and serve :)
