Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup spinach, roughly chopped

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

    Add Aromatics: Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side, then add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet with the sweet potatoes and onions. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

        Season the Dish: Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors together.

          Add Veggies: Incorporate the red bell pepper and spinach into the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth, stir everything together, and cover the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the spinach has wilted.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Enjoy your Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet warm straight from the pan!
