  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon chili powder

– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cups spinach (optional, for added nutrition)
– Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish


Instructions

Crafting the delicious Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet is simple, especially with this helpful step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prep all your ingredients. Peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes can be done ahead of time to save on preparation.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it warm up.
3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
4. Cook the Ground Turkey: Push the onions and garlic to the side of the skillet, then add the ground turkey. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add Sweet Potatoes: Once the turkey is mostly cooked, stir in the diced sweet potatoes. Mix well until combined with the turkey mixture.
6. Season: Sprinkle paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir well to ensure even distribution of spices.
7. Cover and Cook: Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the sweet potatoes to soften and cook through.
8. Stir in Vegetables: If you’re using spinach, add it in the last 5 minutes of cooking, stirring until wilted.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste your skillet for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once everything is cooked through, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.

Following these steps will yield a delicious and nutritious meal that your family will love!
