00:10 I love turkey chili because it is easy and hearty, delicious and healthy.

00:16 But the best part is when I stuff it inside sweet potatoes,

00:20 pop it under the broiler with some cheese.

00:22 That is a home run every time.

00:25 All I have to do is pour my ground turkey and a bunch of vegetables into a slow cooker

00:31 and basically all the work is done for me.

00:33 Turkey on its own is pretty bland and it's low in fat,

00:36 so you need a lot of flavor to give it that extra kick that you want in chili.

00:40 So I'm using some garlic powder,

00:43 ancho chili pepper adds a lot of depth and smokiness,

00:48 and some cumin.

00:50 There is one secret ingredient I think adds a huge punch,

00:54 even though it's very subtle, and that is ground coffee, like espresso.

00:59 It's really finely ground.

01:01 One tablespoon, it goes a long way and it adds a ton of flavor.

01:05 That's it. I'm going to cook it and when it's done I'm going to stuff it in those sweet potatoes.

01:10 I love the combination of this smoky chili along with the sweet potato.

01:15 A little bit of cheddar and under the broiler.

01:22 All right.

01:24 Yes!

01:26 It's like a complete meal all in one bite.

01:28 You've got the veggies and the meat, cheese.

01:33 And it's delicious. It's so good.
