Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet
We’re headed into sweet potato season, so it’s only fitting I share this delicious one-pot ground turkey sweet potato meal with you!
Ingredients
- 3 small or 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and diced (about 3 cups))
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup diced onion (optional – if you’re not an onion lover like me, omit 😉)
- ½ cup skim mozzarella (shredded)
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute and then add ground turkey.
- Use a wooden spoon to break apart meat and continue cooking approximately 8 minutes until browned.
- Add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir well to incorporate.
- Add onion and bell pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then add diced sweet potato and water.
- Stir and cover with a lid for approximately 6-8 minutes until the sweet potatoes soften. You may add additional water during this process if needed to keep the meat from drying out.
- Remove lid and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Top with shredded mozzarella and allow it to melt.
- Remove skillet from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
