Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4 cups diced sweet potatoes (about 2-3 small)
  • 1 cup diced onion about 1/2 of an onion
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1-2 cups water as needed for consistency
  • 2-3 cups chopped kale

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and brown until it's no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, and spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. Toss in the sweet potatoes and brown a little so they will become nice and flavorful.
  • Add the broth, 1 cup of water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Add the kale and continue to simmer until it's wilted.
  • Top with optional toppings and enjoy!
