Directions

• Note before you begin, I would cut/clean/peel prepare all your veggies so they are ready to use.
• First, brown meat with 2/3 cup chopped onion and 1 tbsp oil. Drain fat where needed. Once browned, keep in pot on low .
• While meat is browning, make mole sauce.
• For the mole sauce, peel then heat the sweet potatoes in microwave 3 minutes. Then mash in a bowl. If you want to use a sweet potato puree, that is fine too. Sauce will be thinner but delicious.
• Next, blend the garlic/onion/olive oil together. Add that to a separate small pot then add in your chocolate, creamy almond butter, salt, and other spices listed for the sauce.
• Melt all together, then add your cooked sweet potato mash and broth. Stir together then simmer 20 minutes.
• Once melted together, use a blender or Immersion Blender to make the sauce smooth.
• Add mole sauce to your browned turkey pot mix. Mix together.
• Then add the rest of your ingredients listed to the pot, chopped bell pepper, fire roasted tomatoes (or salsa), sea salt, tsp cayenne, minced garlic, pepper, 1 more tbsp chili powder
• Simmer 20 minutes.
• Taste and adjust to see if you need more spices.
• Ex: smoked paprika, cumin, chili pepper
• Garnish with cilantro, pepitas, and jalapeños .
• Optional: Cheese or sour cream
