Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 lb ground turkey

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup spinach leaves, roughly chopped

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup chicken broth

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.

      Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, around 5-7 minutes. Season with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

        Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and chicken broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

          Incorporate the Vegetables: Once the sweet potatoes are soft, add the diced bell pepper and chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper is tender and the spinach is wilted.

            Taste and Adjust: Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary. If you prefer more heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

              Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired, and serve warm. This dish pairs well with a side salad or crusty bread.
