Ingredients
  

  • 1 Lb Ground turkey
  • 2 Medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 Red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 Yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 Small red onion, diced
  • 2 Cloves garlic, miced
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Tsp Paprika
  • 1 Tsp Cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 Cup Chicken broth (or water)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prep Your Ingredients:
    Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Chop the bell peppers and onion, and mince the garlic.
  • Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften. If they begin to stick, add a splash of chicken broth or water.
  • Add the Vegetables:
    Add the chopped bell peppers and red onion to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Cook the Turkey:
    Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
  • Season Everything:
    Add the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. If the mixture seems dry, add the chicken broth and stir to combine.
  • Final Touches:
    Once everything is cooked through and well mixed, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
