Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet Delight:
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
1 tsp olive oil (or cooking oil of choice)
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional for heat)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Sweet Potatoes:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.
Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften and brown slightly. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Turkey:
In the same skillet, add ground turkey and cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and chili powder (if using).
Once the turkey is cooked, add the diced onion and bell pepper (if using), and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Combine and Simmer:
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the sweet potatoes to the skillet. Add chicken broth (or water) to help everything come together and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded.
Serve:
Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, or extra spices to taste.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a burst of flavor.
Optional Variations:
Add veggies: You can add spinach, kale, or zucchini to sneak in extra greens.
Top with cheese: Sprinkle with shredded cheese towards the end of cooking if you like a cheesy touch.
Serve with avocado: For added creaminess, serve with sliced avocado on top.
