Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 pound Lean Ground Turkey
1 piece Yellow Onion, Chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
2 teaspoons Chipotle chili pepper
2 teaspoons Cumin
1 pound Sweet Potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup Quinoa
28 ounces Crushed Tomatoes
15 ounces Black Beans, rinsed and drained
12 ounces Beer
2 cups Chicken Stock

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high. Add the turkey, onion, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook and stir, breaking up the turkey as you go, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, chipotle chili powder, and cumin, then transfer to the bottom a large slow cooker.
To the slow cooker, add the chopped sweet potatoes, quinoa, beer, 2 cups chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, and black beans. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours, until the potatoes are tender. Stir in additional chicken stock if the chili is thicker than you would like (I added about 1/2 cup extra). Serve warm with desired toppings.
