Ground Turkey Skillet with Sweet Potatoes and Black Bean
Description
The Ground Turkey Skillet with Sweet Potatoes and Black Bean starts by browning ground turkey seasoned with salt and cumin in a hot skillet. Cooking the turkey until no longer pink ensures it remains moist but fully cooked. Then onion and tomato paste are added briefly to build flavor depth.
Next, sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, diced tomato, jalape, garlic, and cilantro are stirred in with chicken broth and additional seasoning. The skillet is covered and cooked on low heat for 12 to 14 minutes until the sweet potatoes become tender, absorbing the flavors of the spices and vegetables.
The finished dish balances the mildness of turkey and sweetness of potatoes with spicy heat from jalape and the freshness of cilantro. Sliced avocado and fresh lime wedges accompany the skillet for added texture and brightness, making it a complete meal that combines protein, vegetables, and legumes.
