Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and diced red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
Mix in 2 tablespoons of chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the fire-roasted tomatoes (with their juices), beans, diced sweet potato, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sweet potatoes are tender and chili has thickened. Adjust seasoning with additional chili powder and salt if needed.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sliced green onions, sour cream or Greek yogurt, jalapeños, or avocado.

Notes

For a spicier chili, add more chili powder based on your taste preference.
Feel free to substitute kidney beans with black beans or any other beans of your choice.
