Most times I would tell you you replace any ingredients with something that fits your diet, but in this rare instance, the Italian sausage is actually non-negotiable. Ground turkey or chicken doesn't have enough fat to fully enhance the flavors while cooking.

Ingredients
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 Fresno chili, seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp sofrito
1 lb Italian sausage
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1" pieces
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes
Freshly chopped parsley, for serving
Preparation
In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more, then add tomato paste and stir until well coated. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, 7 minutes. Add chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, and cayenne, and season with salt and pepper.
Add sweet potatoes, broth, and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Garnish with parsley before serving.
