Instructions

Mix the seasonings in a small bowl and set them aside.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey when the oil is hot.
Cook the turkey for about 4 minutes and add 2 tablespoons of the seasoning blend, cooking for another 4–5 minutes until cooked through.
Transfer the cooked turkey to a slow cooker.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, sweet potato, onion, bell pepper, corn, kidney beans, and jalapeño to the slow cooker.
Add the remaining seasoning blend and stir everything until well mixed.
Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours.
Serve warm, topping with cilantro, green onion, cheese, sour cream, or avocado slices if desired.

Notes

Chop the sweet potato in similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Adjust seasonings to taste before serving.
