Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Turkey Chili

Fall is here and when it starts getting chilly my favorite thing to do is cook comfort food. I love comfort food but hate all the calories that the word "comfort" entails. Therefore I have been looking for recipes that are still cozy, just not totally fattening. I made this chili last night and it definiately satisfied the comfort craving.

INGREDIENTS.
Pam
1 onion, chopped
Ground Turkey
2 tsps of chili powder
1 -2 cups of chicken broth
2 sweet potatoes (yams) peeled and cut
1 can of Mexican style stewed tomatoes
Cilantro (for top) chopped
1 orange cut in half
salt / pepper
brown rice

DIRECTIONS.
1. Brown Turkey until it is no longer pink. Drain. Add to crockpot.
2.Combine chili powder, chicken broth, sweet potatoes, onion, tomatoes.
3. Cook on Low 8 hours.
When ready to serve, add salt / pepper to liking and spoon over brown rice. Squeeze orange over top of dish. Top with cilantro.
