SWEET POTATO TURKEY CHILI

Sweet Potato Turkey Chili image

I love the blend of sweetness from the sweet potatoes and the little bit of kick from the cayenne pepper. The pumpkin pie spice seems a little strange, but it adds something that makes this recipe a bit different then your usual turkey chili...in a good way!
