Sweet Potato Turkey Chili (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo, Whole30)
When you don’t eat beans or any legumes, making chili can be a challenge. Most conventional chili recipes call for some sort of bean – whether it be white beans, garbanzo beans, or kidney beans. As part of a Paleo diet, no beans or legumes are allowed because they bind to the nutrients of food, preventing you from absorbing them. Beans and legumes can also cause digestive problems for some people, especially those with IBS. To read more about beans and legumes and the Paleo diet check out this article by Dr. Loren Cordain.
In this particular version, I used ground turkey but you could definitely use ground pork, chicken, or beef as well and it would be just as delicious. I use cubed sweet potato in the place of beans and I also throw in some homemade bone broth and kale for some extra nutrition! Lastly, I top with a few slices of avocado for some healthy fats.
