I made this because my eldest son and I love sweet potatoes. It turned out okay and my 9 year old loved it. He asked to pack leftovers for lunch the next day. The rest of the family thought it was just okay. I followed the recipe except I used ground beef instead of turkey. I will make this again and will adjust to add a second jalepeno and more of all the spices. I may also make sure I rinse the ground beef instead of just draining it.

Ground beef instead of turkey.

My husband said this dish was the best recipe I have made! I had to simmer it awhile as I didn't cut the sweet potato in small pieces. It was excellent and had a great flavor. We had cornbread with this chili. I didn't have a fresh zuccini but I had a can of tomatoes with cooked zuccini in it so I improvised.

This was very tasty. I put cornbread dumplings on top.

This is GREAT! I'm not generally a fan of sweet potatoes, but I do like them in soups so I decided to try this. I left out the meat, mainly because I didn't want to have 1/2 pound of turkey left over. I actually think the meat is unnecessary and loved it without! This is a wonderfully colorful dish and very visually appealling. Based on previous reviews about undercooked potatoes, I diced mine and had no problems. Served with dinner rolls to sop up liquid. I will make this again and share it with my Weight Watchers members!
