- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- pinch ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes and their juice
- 3 cups cooked pinto beans, or 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed (or use 1 can kidney beans and 1 can pinto)

Method
Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add turkey meat and brown, breaking up with a wooden spoon. When just cooked through remove from pan using a slotted spoon and set aside. If pot looks dry, add more oil.
Step 2
Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic and sauté until onion is tender and translucent, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Add spices, salt, and pepper and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add tomatoes and their liquid and cook for another minute or two.
Step 5
Add the turkey meat back to the pot, along with the beans, sweet potato, and water. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cover. Cook until sweet potatoes are tender and everything is nice and thick, about 1 hour.
Step 6
Taste for salt and pepper. Serve with desired toppings such as tortilla chips, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sour cream.
