Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sweet Potatoes
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Add a splash of water or broth if they start to stick. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Turkey
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Add the ground turkey and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, until browned and cooked through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3: Add Vegetables and Spices
- Stir in the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder (if using), and additional salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the turkey and veggies with the spices.
Step 4: Combine and Simmer
- Return the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir everything together.
- Add 1/4 cup water or broth, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sweet potatoes to become fully tender.
Step 5: Serve
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
- Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheese and let it melt before serving.
