Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup fresh spinach

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

    Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften. You may cover the skillet for a couple of minutes to help them cook through.

      Cook the Turkey: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground turkey into the center. Break it apart with a spatula, season with smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the turkey is browned and cooked through.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the turkey is cooked, mix it with the sweet potatoes and bell pepper. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

          Add Greens: Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt for about 1-2 minutes.

            Serve: If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for added creaminess. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
