Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet

One skillet, no fuss: lean turkey, sweet potatoes and black beans simmered with warm spices until everything is tender.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the turkey, breaking it up, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes, black beans and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Uncover and cook 2-3 minutes more to thicken the pan juices.
  6. Scatter with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Serve with: lime wedges and a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Cut the sweet potatoes small and even so they cook through in the same time as the turkey.
