  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– ½ cup shredded cheese (optional)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating this delicious Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Bake is straightforward. Follow these steps for a successful dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Brown the Turkey: Add ground turkey to the pan, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, stirring frequently.
4. Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
5. Add Sweet Potatoes: Gently fold in the diced sweet potatoes, making sure they’re evenly combined with the turkey mixture.
6. Pour in Broth: Add chicken broth to the skillet, allowing the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes. This will help soften the sweet potatoes a bit.
7. Transfer to Oven: If you used a stovetop skillet, you can transfer the skillet directly to the preheated oven. Otherwise, pour everything into a greased baking dish.
8. Bake: Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.
9. Add Cheese: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt.
10. Serve: Remove from the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
