Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound ground lean turkey
Vegetables & Fruits
- 2/3 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3.5 cups peeled and diced sweet potato
- 1.5 cups diced apples
- 1.5 cups sliced brussels sprouts
Others
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
Instructions
- Cook the Turkey: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the ground turkey along with salt and pepper. Cook until the turkey is fully browned and no pink remains, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften. Then, transfer the turkey, onions, and garlic mixture into a bowl and set aside.
- Cook Vegetables and Apples: In the same skillet, place the sliced Brussels sprouts, diced apples, and diced sweet potatoes. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow it to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts are tender.
- Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the cooked turkey and onion mixture back into the skillet. Mix everything well, cover again, and cook the combined ingredients for an additional 5 minutes to let flavors meld and ensure everything is heated through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove from heat and serve your Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet warm. It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into egg burritos, stuffed peppers, tacos, or as a salad topping.
