• Skill Level: Easy

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften and slightly brown.
3. Push the sweet potatoes to the side of the skillet and add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and aromatic.
4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Continue to stir until the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
5. Mix in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.

• If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
• Feel free to substitute ground chicken or beef if you don’t have turkey on hand.
• Enhance the dish with additional vegetables like zucchini or corn kernels.

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

• Serve with a crisp garden salad and crusty bread for a complete meal.
• A glass of lightly chilled white wine complements the flavors perfectly.
