Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

Turkey Sweet Potato Chili is a hearty and nutritious meal that is packed with protein and fiber. It tastes even better as leftovers, so meal prep is welcomed!

I wrote this recipe as one of the series of recipes and food that help support sleep. We know that lean meats (lookin’ at you, turkey) are excellent sources of tryptophan, the amino acid that helps produce serotonin and melatonin. That’s why that Thanksgiving meal can make us oh so sleepy. But other sleep-supporting superstars include vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, protein, and fiber — all of which this turkey sweet potato chili is very rich in thanks to ingredients such as sweet potatoes, bone broth, and kidney beans.
