Sweet Potato Turkey Skillet

Sweet Potato Turkey Skillet


  • Total Time: 39 minute
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or chopped kale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth (halal-certified) or water
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat and set the turkey aside on a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the diced sweet potatoes and onions. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent.
  3. Add the bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth (or water) and sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Remove the lid and stir the cooked ground turkey back into the skillet.
  7. Add the fresh spinach or kale on top. Stir gently for 1 to 2 minutes until the greens have wilted and everything is heated through.
  8. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
