4 servings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juices
Ingredient noteThere is no pregnancy-specific risk from fire-roasted diced tomatoes - it is fine to use in this recipe.
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 medium avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 6–7 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
