Chili is one of my all-time favorite meals during cold Minnesota winters. Not only is it super simple to make, it also tastes even better as a leftover meal!

And guess what? This Sweet Potato Turkey Chili is also kid-friendly, making it a great way to get the kids to eat their veggies. My daughter devours this chili every time we have it (like lick the bowl clean type of devour!)
