Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.
Add diced apples, sliced carrots, and sliced sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, rubbed sage, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables soften.
Add ground turkey to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart, for 5-7 minutes until browned.
Stir in tomato paste and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and aromatic.
Pour in crushed and strained tomatoes. Mix well and bring to a gentle simmer.

Adjust chili powder to your preferred heat level.
Cool completely before freezing for up to 3 months.
Consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar for extra flavor.
