Ground Turkey & Sweet Potato Skillet

While searching around for some new healthy dinner ideas, I found this recipe. I rarely use our cast iron skillet (to be honest, I have a hard time lifting it) so I thought this would be a great opportunity to use it. It was very easy to make and turned out really good! We ate it with some hot sauce and hummus.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 lb lean ground turkey

1 teaspoon clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup onions, diced

1/2 cup yellow pepper, diced

1 1/2 cup sweet potato, diced

salt and pepper to taste

a pinch of ground red pepper or flakes

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add ground turkey and garlic. Stir occasionally and cook until just browned.

Add onions and yellow peppers and cook for a few minutes, or until onions are gold brown.

Add the sweet potato and seasonings.

Cover the skillet and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add more olive oil or a little bit of water to cook the sweet potato.

While the sweet potato is cooking pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

When the sweet potato is tender, add shredded mozzarella cheese and bring the skillet to the oven to melt the cheese.

When the cheese melts, remove from the oven and serve.

Enjoy!
