Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups diced sweet potatoes
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 tomato diced
Sauce
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup salsa
Instructions
- Place diced sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Carefully remove and set aside until you are ready to use.
- Make sauce by combining the sour cream and salsa in a small bowl. Set aside for serving.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey. Cook and crumble for about 5 minutes until just a little pink remains.
- Add in the hot sweet potatoes, black beans, salt, chipotle chili powder, and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes until sweet potatoes are soft and turkey is fully cooked. Remove from heat and sprinkle on the cheese to melt. Top with the green onions, diced tomatoes, and sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you are in a situation where everyone eating this dish loves their food spicy, you can add an extra 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the chipotle chili powder.
If you don't have a microwave oven available to you, you can pre-cook the potatoes in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400º F. Add the potatoes to a sheet tray and let them cook until they are slightly soft about 10 to 15 minutes.
