Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden. Remove the cooked sweet potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Then, add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Season the turkey with the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Return the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir everything together until well combined. If you’re using any of the optional add-ins, such as bell peppers, spinach, black beans, or red pepper flakes, now is the time to incorporate them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the extras are warmed through.
4. Remove the Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet from the heat, garnish it with fresh parsley, and serve it hot. Enjoy this delicious, nutrient-packed one-pan meal that’s ready in under 30 minutes!
