Ingredients
  

  • 1 20- ounce package of ground turkey the ones by me are now 19.2 ounces -- gotta love how we pay the same and get less!
  • 1 large sweet onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 large eggplant mine was just about 450g
  • 1 large sweet potato mine was about 500g
  • 1 8- ounce package of baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeds and inner membrane removed if you want it less spicy
  • 3-4 cups of chicken broth based on desired thickness more broth will require longer cooing time to reduce and thicken

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the turkey with the onion, cumin and thyme. While it's cooking, cut the ends off the eggplant and peel with a potato peeler, then cut it into cubes. Add the eggplant to the browning turkey with a pinch or two of salt. Toss it all together and let it cook while you the sweet potato into cubes. I use this technique a lot while making chili -- cooking and cutting in a pattern until all ingredients are added.

  • Once the potato is added, chop the mushrooms and add, then do the same to the jalapeno. Once all the ingredients are in, add the broth, lower to a simmer and cook for at least 30 minutes allowing the flavors to merge and the potato to soften.
