Ground Turkey & Vegetable Pizza Chili

It’s called pizza chili because I substituted pizza sauce instead of regular tomato sauce- use what you have in the fridge and great recipes are created 🙂

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. lean ground turkey
• 1/2 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 4 small sweet potatoes, cubed
• 1/2 tomato, diced
• 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
• 8 oz. pizza sauce (make sure it doesn’t have a lot of added ingredients, especially sugar)
• 2 Tbsp. chili powder
• 1 Tbsp. oregano
• 1/2 Tbsp. basil
• 1/2 Tbsp. cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp cayenne

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, sauté the onions and garlic over medium heat.
2. Add in the ground turkey and cook until browned.
3. Drain the excess fat and then transfer the mixture to the crock pot.
4. Add in the pepper, celery, sweet potatoes, and diced tomato.
5. Add all spices and stir everything together. Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
