  • 2 tsp salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 3 Tbs tomato paste
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 3 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups strained tomatoes (or a Paleo marinara sauce)
  • 1-2 cans kidney beans

Instructions

  • Put 1 Tbs of olive oil into a large pot and turn the stove top up to medium heat.
  • Add the diced apples, sliced sweet potatoes, and sliced carrots to the pan. Top with onion powder, garlic powder, 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp of rubbed sage, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and a sprinkle nutmeg. Mix with a spatula and cook for 5 minutes, mixing every now and then.
  • Add the ground turkey meat, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, 2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp sage and 1 tsp salt to the mixture and mix until the tomato paste is evenly distributed.
  • Then add the crushed tomatoes and strained tomatoes to the pot, and mix.
  • Reduce the heat to low-medium and cook for 20-30 minutes. If you are adding kidney beans, add them at the end.

Notes

  • Make sure the sweet potatoes are sliced and quartered, and that they are sliced thin enough. This ensures they will be cooked through in time.
  • If you don't have strained tomatoes, you can use marinara.
