Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup spinach, roughly chopped

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, green onions, or feta cheese

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to break apart the meat. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.

    Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until they soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and add the chopped spinach. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

          Serve and Enjoy: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, topped with sliced avocado, green onions, or a sprinkle of feta cheese if desired.
