Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for an extra kick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth

2 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Slices of avocado (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced sweet potatoes, ensuring they're spread out in an even layer. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and have developed a light golden crust.

    Cook the Turkey: Push the cooked sweet potatoes to one side of the pan. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty space. To the pan, add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until the turkey is browned and fully cooked through.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the finely chopped onion, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.

        Combine and Steam: Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze and release any flavorful bits. Add the chopped spinach or kale, stirring to combine. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the greens wilt down.

          Finish & Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, giving everything a good stir to mix the flavors well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a finishing touch, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot, adding slices of avocado on top for creaminess.

            Enjoy your vibrant and wholesome one-pan dish that’s perfect for any meal!
