Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic, diced sweet potatoes, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
You can add other vegetables like spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking.
For a spicier dish, increase the amount of cayenne pepper.
Serve with a side of rice or a simple green salad.
