Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sweet Potatoes

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. 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

  1. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. 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

  1. Stir in the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
  2. 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

  1. Return the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir everything together.
  2. 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

  1. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
  2. Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheese and let it melt before serving.
