Instructions
In a small bowl combine the taco seasonings: chilli powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder salt + pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large cooking pot on a medium high heat. Add the onions, ground turkey and half of the taco mix and cook on medium-high for about 5-7 minutes, breaking up the large chunks with a wooden spoon. If needed, add 1/4 cup of the chicken broth to the pan to keep the turkey mixture moving.
When the turkey mixture is brown and crumbly, remove it from the pan and set aside while you prep the sweet potatoes.
Add the sweet potatoes to the same pot you were just using along with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and taco seasoning. Once the sweet potatoes have been browned, add the remaining broth and garlic to the pot and allow you mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft enough that you can easily pierce them with a fork.

What if I don't own an immersion blender?You can still make this using a traditional blender. Just blend the sweet potato mixture in batches making sure not to fill up your blender too much. Remember to be careful when removing the lid off your hot blender - open away from your face. Do I really need all those spices?Yes and no. You need the spices but you can use 3 tablespoons of a pre-made/ store bought taco spice blend if you prefer. Just make sure to check the labels for hidden sugar if your on Whole30 or you need this to be sugar free.Can I freeze it?Absolutely! Freeze in heavy duty freezer storage bags. Use within 6 months for best results. Let it defrost in the fridge overnight.
