With cooler temperatures come warmer cravings. This sweet potato, black bean, and turkey chili is packed with health-boosting spices like cumin and paprika (which is great if you’re following an Ayurvedic cleanse for fall!). Hearty and healthy, this dish goes great with a side of roasted broccoli and a mixed green salad.
