Chili—with vegetables, lean protein and beans—is a complete, satisfying and nutritious one-pot meal. If desired, you can substitute an equal amount of sweet potatoes for butternut squash, and use any variety of beans. Serve over rice or a baked potato.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and jalapeño and sauté for 2 minutes, until fragrant. If using ground turkey, stir it in, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, and sauté until no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
2. Stir in the tomato sauce, stock, sweet potato and beans. If using leftover turkey, add now. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 15 minutes or just until the sweet potato is tender.
3. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with cilantro, cheese and sour cream.
