Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Turkey (or lean ground chicken)
- 2 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cut into small 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 medium Yellow Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Water or Chicken Broth
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and ground turkey to the pan. Break the turkey apart with a wooden spoon and cook until it is no longer pink. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat everything in the spices. Pour in the water or broth, then cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes steam for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
- Remove the lid and check the moisture level. If there is still liquid in the pan, cook uncovered for 2 minutes to let it evaporate. Stir in the fresh spinach and toss until it wilts into the mixture. Taste the dish and add extra salt or pepper if needed.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Serve hot in bowls. You can garnish with a squeeze of lime or a dash of hot sauce if you have some in your pantry to add extra zing without adding cost.
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
