Winter Crockpot Sweet Potato Turkey Chili

Sorry for the long hiatus! Things have been a little crazy with the holidays and some big news....we are moving to San Diego!! In about 2 weeks! It's very exciting, but also bittersweet because DC has become home for the past 6+ years for me. I will miss my friends here and being able to walk everywhere and all the awesome stuff DC and city life has to offer! BUT I do look forward to lots of beach time, Mexican food, and of course time with my family. 2016 will be a whole new adventure for Will and me (& Luna!) Another reason to be excited for the move: DC winters. This morning I woke up and it was 12 degrees outside! It felt even colder than that with the wind chill. That's one thing I will not miss. When it's cold like this all I want to do is get bundled up and have some soup! This turkey crockpot recipe is one of my favorites to have this time of the year. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Happy New Year to all! Stay tuned for a yummy winter dessert later this week :) 
How good does this look?? This picture is before the chili cooked in the crockpot for 6 hours...we were too hungry to take pictures of it once it was ready - WOOPS!

This Sweet Potato Turkey Chili seems so good and delicious. Too bad I won't be able to taste this kind of food because I am actually refraining from chili/spicy foods. I'm just going to share this cool recipe to my brothers who love eating spicy foods, unlike me. I am looking forward to another recipe that you're going to share. Thanks you and warm regards.
