My new favorite fall chili recipe from the fantastic ladies at Our Best Bites

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, diced (any color)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 bell pepper, diced
1-2 jalapenos, minced
20 ounces ground turkey breast
2 teaspoons cumin
2  teaspoons kosher salt
½  teaspoons pepper
1  teaspoon oregano
1  teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2  teaspoons smoked paprika
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes*
1 28 ounce can tomatoes (not drained)
2 15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
32 ounces beef broth (one box/carton)
1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
optional: sour cream, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro or green onion, and fresh lime juice for serving

1. Heat a large pot to medium-high heat.  Add olive oil and add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapenos.  Saute for about 5 minutes, until veggies are tender and fragrant. 
2. In same pot, add turkey and stir to combine.  Sprinkle in cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, chili powder and smoked paprika.  Saute until turkey is cooked through. 
3. Add sweet potatoes, tomatoes, beans, broth, pumpkin, cinnamon, and cocoa powder to pot and stir to combine.  Place lid on pot and cook for  30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
4. When done, turn off heat and let chili sit with lid off for 10-15 minutes to thicken.  Season with additional salt to taste before serving.  If desired, serve with sour cream, sliced avocados, and a small squirt of fresh lime juice, and any other toppings desired.
