This Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet is a wholesome, one-pan meal packed with lean protein, nutrient-rich sweet potatoes, and vibrant veggies. Perfect for busy weeknights, it’s quick, healthy, and incredibly flavorful!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), diced
  • 2 cups (60 g) fresh spinach
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional, for spice)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the sweet potato cubes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender and golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the Ground Turkey:
    • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
    • Add the ground turkey, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking the turkey into small pieces, until fully cooked and no longer pink.
  3. Add the Vegetables:
    • Stir in the bell pepper and cooked sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring to combine.
  4. Add the Spinach:
    • Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle with crumbled feta or shredded cheese before serving.
  • Swap spinach for kale or add extra veggies like zucchini or mushrooms.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
