Scale

1 lb (454g) lean ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb/454g), peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp paprika

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Salt and black pepper to taste

¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until beginning to brown. Season with salt and pepper, then remove to a plate.
In the same skillet, heat remaining tablespoon of oil. Add ground turkey, breaking into chunks. Let brown for 2-3 minutes before breaking into smaller pieces. Cook until no pink remains, about 5-6 minutes.
Add diced onion to the turkey and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add red bell pepper and cook for 2 more minutes.
Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne over the mixture. Stir to coat evenly. Return sweet potatoes to the skillet and combine.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove lid and fold in chopped spinach, allowing it to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with sliced avocado and lime wedges.
