Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic frozen cubes
  • 1.25 lb. ground turkey 93/7 lean
  • 1 sweet potato diced, medium, 380g
  • 1 asparagus chopped in quarters, bunch, 330g

  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon as you go, until no longer pink.
  2. Add the sweet potatoes, asparagus, onions, water, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Give everything a good toss to evenly distribute the spices.
  3. Cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add more water if needed. Then remove from heat.

Notes

  • Cooking tip: Don’t overload your skillet! Be sure you have enough room in your skillet so everything has enough room to cook evenly. If you only have a small cast iron skillet, I'd recommend cooking in batches or you can bake your sweet potatoes in the oven before adding. 
  • There are lots of ways you can switch this simple recipe up! 
  • Sub a different meat: you can use ground beef, ground chicken, rotisserie chicken, etc.!
  • Add different veggies: add any extra veggies you love! You could add broccoli, spinach, brussels sprouts, kale, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.
  • Switch up the cheese: I used mozzarella to keep it simple but this would be delicious with parmesan cheese, pepper jack, goat cheese, or even feta! 
  • Add extra seasoning: use your favorite seasoning blend like cumin, curry, paprika, sage, chili powder, onion powder, thyme, or rosemary to add additional flavor!   
  • Extra carbs: add an extra can of black beans, pinto beans or corn!
  • Fresh herbs: sprinkle some herbs on top like fresh cilantro or basil! 
  • Make it creamy: ​add a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt to add extra creaminess!
