→ Main ingredients
01 -
1 pound ground turkey
02 -
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
03 -
1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil if you prefer)
04 -
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
05 -
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
06 -
1 bell pepper (any color works!), chopped
→ Seasonings
07 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 -
1 teaspoon ground cumin
09 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
→ Finishing touches
10 -
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
11 -
Fresh parsley leaves, chopped, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, then sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.
02 -
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to start softening but still maintain some firmness.
03 -
Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the pan and add the ground turkey to the empty space. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and nicely browned.
04 -
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over everything in the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and coat everything with the spices.
05 -
Add the chopped bell pepper and spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the pepper softens and the spinach wilts down. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
