Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes until slightly softened and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook ground turkey over medium heat, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
Add onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes until onions are translucent and peppers soften. Stir in garlic and cook 1–2 minutes.
Sprinkle smoked paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the mixture. Stir to coat evenly.
Return sweet potatoes to the skillet and combine with turkey and vegetables. Cook 3–4 minutes, allowing edges to crisp slightly.
Stir in fresh spinach and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

You can prep sweet potatoes and vegetables ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Ground turkey can be substituted with ground chicken or plant-based alternatives.
Adjust spices to taste: omit red pepper flakes for mild, or add cayenne for heat.
Top with a fried or poached egg for a breakfast twist, or add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave.
