Ingredients

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes to a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add diced onion and bell pepper; sauté 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add ground turkey, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until turkey is browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
Return sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir in baby spinach and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
