Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), chopped

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup fresh spinach

Optional toppings: avocado slices, fresh cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.

Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their flavors.

Brown the Turkey: Push the sweet potato mixture to the side of the skillet, then add the ground turkey in the center. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Mix everything together.

Add Spinach: Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or spices as desired.

Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for added flavor if desired.
