• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

1 pound ground turkey

1 ½ tablespoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

1 cup onion, diced

1 yellow bell pepper

3 small or 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3 cups)

½ cup water

½ cup mozzarella, shredded

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then the garlic and cook for 1 minute before adding the ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break apart meat and continue cooking approximately 8 minutes until browned.

Add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir well to incorporate.

Add onion and bell pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add diced sweet potato and water. Stir and cover with a lid for approximately 6-8 minutes until the sweet potatoes soften. Add additional water during this process if needed to keep the meat from drying out.

Remove lid and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Top with shredded mozzarella and allow it to melt. Remove skillet from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
