Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, optional)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the turkey is browned and fully cooked through.
  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, mixing well to coat the turkey and sweet potatoes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach (if using) and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
  • If desired, sprinkle with shredded cheese and let it melt before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken or lean beef for the turkey.
  • Add extra veggies like bell peppers or zucchini for more variety.
  • To make this dish spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
