Turkey – White Bean Chili over Greens with Caramelized Sweet Potato
I created another impromptu recipe last night from my Mariquita Farms organic veggie box and some staple pantry items.
Here’s the treasure trove of veggies we got in this week’s $25 box (I don’t want to hear anymore that “organic is too expensive” — rubbish! blasphemy! untrue! More proof coming soon…): http://www.mariquita.com/Farmers%20Market/mystery%20lists/Piccino5-28-09.pdf.

This is also a great “chili” recipe for those who can’t eat nightshade vegetables – it has no tomatoes, peppers, or white potatoes. Also great for allergen-free, delicious eating for autoimmune and the allergy-prone. For those careful of the oxalate levels (oxalic acid) in their diet, you can replace the chard with lower-oxalate greens such as the greens of bok choy.
