Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 14 oz sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 2 medium)

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 large tomato, diced

  • 1 jalapeño, diced

  • 3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 3/4 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro (plus more for garnish)

  • Lime wedges, for serving

  • 4 oz avocado, sliced


Instructions

  • Cook the Ground Turkey:

    • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp cumin. Once browned, push the meat to one side of the skillet.

  • Sauté Aromatics:

    • In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute until the onion softens.

  • Add Vegetables:

    • Add the diced sweet potato, black beans, corn, diced tomato, jalapeño, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir in the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp cumin.

  • Simmer:

    • Pour in the chicken broth, stir to combine, and cover. Let it simmer on low heat for 12–14 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

 

  • Finish and Serve:

    • Stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve the skillet topped with sliced avocado and additional cilantro. Accompany with lime wedges for added zest.
