Serves 6

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey breast
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 can (15-ounces) sweet potato puree or canned pumpkin
• 1 can (4-ounces) chopped green chilies
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 can (15 ½ ounces) low-sodium great northern beans, rinsed and drained
• Optional: Sour cream, plain Greek low-fat yogurt, fresh cilantro and sliced red onions

Directions 

In a large skillet, cook turkey and onion over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink and onion is tender, 5-7 minutes. Break the turkey up into crumbles and drain fat. Transfer to a 3- or 4- quarter slow cooker.

Stir in broth, sweet potato puree, chilies and seasonings. Cook covered, on low 4-5 hours. Stir in beans, cook until heated through, about 1 more hour. 

Serve in bowls with optional sour cream, plain Greek low-fat yogurt, fresh cilantro or sliced red onions.
