Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet Delight

Here’s a simple, flavorful recipe for a Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet Delight! It’s healthy, satisfying, and super easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

• 1 small yellow onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional for some heat)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)

• 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

• 1/2 lime, cut into wedges (optional for serving)

Instructions:

1. Cook the sweet potatoes:

   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

   • Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until they are starting to soften. (You can cover the skillet to speed up cooking and prevent them from drying out.)

   • Once they’re nearly done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the ground turkey:

   • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil.

   • Add the ground turkey and cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).

   • Season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and chili powder (if using). Stir to combine and let the flavors meld together.

3. Add the veggies:

   • Toss in the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Stir well, cooking for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the peppers are soft.

4. Combine everything:

   • Add the cooked sweet potatoes back to the skillet, along with the chicken broth.

   • Stir everything together and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until everything is heated through and the sweet potatoes are tender.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for extra freshness.

   • Serve hot, and enjoy!

Variations:

• Add a handful of spinach or kale for some greens.

• If you like it spicy, toss in some jalapeños or hot sauce.

• Top with a fried egg for extra protein and richness.
