Instruções

Cook the turkey. Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan (it needs to be large – I used 12 inches) over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil, and let it get hot. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula or meat chopper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on the outside and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the veggies. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to your pan. Then add sweet potatoes, onions, and salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Add about 2 tablespoons water, cover with a lid, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, you can add a little more water halfway through to help them cook. Next, add the peppers, mix to combine, cover again, and cook for another 5 minutes. Then add your kale, a little more salt and pepper, and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes. All the veggies should be tender at this point.

Bring it all together. Turn down the heat to low and add your ground turkey (with its juices) and the spices to the pan and stir well to combine. Finally, top with shredded cheese to cover the turkey mixture and let melt, for about 1-2 minutes. If needed, you can cover the pan with a lid.

Top with optional toppings and enjoy!
