Crock-Pot Turkey Chili

Crock-Pot meals are easy to make and require very little time in the kitchen. This recipe took me a couple minutes to throw together before I went to work and I came home to a healthy and delicious dinner that was ready to eat when I walked in the door. I was looking for a tasty and easy recipe to throw in my crock-pot when I found this recipe on He and She Eat Clean.

This chili might be a healthy dish but it is full of your favorite flavors you'd expect to find in a bowl of chili. The combination of spices along with sweet potatoes and black beans makes for a truly satisfying meal!
