- Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp oil and the ground turkey. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Remove the turkey from the pot.
- Step 2
Add 1 more tbsp olive oil, shallots, onions, and both peppers to the pot. Cook until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
- Step 3
Mix in all the spices, salt, black pepper and cook 1-2 minutes.
- Step 4
Stir in tomato paste (plus a touch more oil if it’s looking dry) and cook for 1 minute.
- Step 5
Mix in the pumpkin puree, cook for 1 minute, then add the crushed tomatoes and broth.
- Step 6
Add the turkey back to the pot and stir in the maple syrup.
- Step 7
Cover pot with a lid, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 8
Mix in the sweet potatoes and beans, cover, and cook for another 30 minutes. Be sure to dice your sweet potatoes small or they may take longer to cook.
- Step 9
Ladle generous servings into bowls and load it up with your favorite toppings. We like to top ours with shredded cheese, sour cream, pepitas, green onions, avocado, and chips.
