Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground turkey 93% lean
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and fully cooked through.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the turkey. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
  5. Return the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet with the turkey. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  6. Divide the turkey and sweet potato mixture into 4 bowls. Serve immediately or let cool completely before storing in meal prep containers.

Notes

For meal prep, store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. You can customize these bowls with toppings like avocado, Greek yogurt, salsa, or fresh cilantro. If sweet potatoes are taking too long to cook, cover the skillet with a lid to steam them faster.
