This ground turkey and sweet potato skillet makes a fantastic quick dinner. Stir in pasta of your choice, zoodles, or leave it as a simple hash! So many options with this versatile recipe.
If using pasta, bring a pot of water to a boil. Then salt the water and cook pasta until al dente. (Or spiralize 3 small zucchini).
Heat a deep skillet or pot. Drizzle with oil and add ground turkey.
Break up the turkey with a spatula while it browns. Add taco seasoning and additional salt & pepper, if needed. Stir in chopped onion and continue browning meat (7-10 minutes total).
Once the ground turkey has browned, add in the sweet potato dices and 1 cup water. Close the skillet with a lid and cook on medium heat until the sweet potato has softened (5-8 minutes). If needed, add the remaining ½ cup water to finish cooking the sweet potatoes.
Open the lid ad stir in chopped spinach, quartered grape tomatoes, and optional pasta (or spiralized zucchini).
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the top and close the lid again until the cheese is melted (2-3 minutes).
Serve this ground turkey sweet potato dish with chopped parsley, avocado dices, and a generous squeeze of lime juice.
