Gather Your Ingredients

Start by collecting all necessary ingredients. You will need:

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

Begin by peeling your sweet potatoes. Use a sharp peeler to remove the skin effectively.

Next, dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes. This ensures even cooking and helps them to soften properly.

Cook Sweet Potatoes

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet.

Season them with salt and pepper, then sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned.

Cook the Turkey Mixture

In a separate skillet, pour in another tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Incorporate the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper into the onion, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Next, add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

Combine and Season

Once the turkey is cooked, add the sautéed sweet potatoes into the turkey mixture.

Sprinkle in the paprika and cumin, mixing everything thoroughly to combine flavors.

Let everything cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes so the spices can meld.

Final Touches

Remove the skillet from heat and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
