The Best Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 lbs extra-lean ground turkey
• 1 tsp garlic clove, minced
• ½ cup onions, diced
• ½ cup yellow pepper, diced
• 1 ½ cups sweet potato, diced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• A pinch of red chili flakes
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh parsley for garnishing

Directions:

• In an iron cast skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add ground turkey and garlic. Use a wood spoon breaking up the turkey while it cooks. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Add onions and yellow peppers and cook until onions are soft.
• Add the sweet potato, chili pepper, salt, and pepper.
• Cover the skillet and cook until they are tender. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. If necessary, add more olive oil or a little bit of water to cook the sweet potato faster.
• While the sweet potato is cooking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• When the sweet potato is tender, add shredded mozzarella cheese and bring the skillet to the oven to melt the cheese* (see note below).
• When the cheese melts, remove from the oven, and garnish with parsley.

NOTES 

* You can just put the lid on the skillet for 5 minutes. The cheese will melt. **You can keep this recipe in the fridge for up 6 days. For this recipe, I used ground turkey that is 85% more lean and has 15% less fat than beef.
