Instructions
Creating the Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into small, uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
4. Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the turkey is no longer pink.
5. Add Sweet Potatoes: Incorporate the diced sweet potatoes into the skillet. Stir well to coat them with the spices.
6. Cover and Cook: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. Add Spinach: Once the sweet potatoes are tender and fully cooked, add the baby spinach to the skillet. Stir until the spinach wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the skillet mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
9. Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
