Ingredients
Scale
- Key Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 1 bell pepper (any color, diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Instructions:
- 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
- 2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
- 3. Cook Ground Turkey: Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- 4. Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir in cubed sweet potatoes, minced garlic, and cumin. Pour in chicken broth to cover the mixture without excess liquid. Cover the skillet and simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
- 5. Check Doneness: Remove the lid after simmering; the sweet potatoes should be tender when poked with a fork. If not fully tender, cover again for a couple of additional minutes.
- 6. Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve directly from the skillet or plate it up for your guests.
