Next, add your spices (cayenne, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, bay leaf) and stir with the veggies for another 3-5 mins.

Add your ground turkey and allow to lightly brown for a few minutes (5-7). Add the rest of your ingredients (chicken stock, beans, corn, green chili’s, crushed tomatoes, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce). Stir until everything is fully combined.

Allow the chili to reach a boil, then turn down the heat to medium low and allow to simmer for 45 minutes-hour (until your sweet potato is tender).

Serve with gluten free corn bread and garnish with cilantro and fresh lime!

Enjoy!
