Sweet Potato Skillet

This Sweet Potato skillet is easily one of my favorite and go-to recipes. I adapted this recipe from Primavera Kitchen but changed the cooking method, timing and increased the measurements significantly on some of the ingredients. I also added a little chili powder to get a little more kick! You can leave out the chili powder and red pepper flakes if you aren’t a fan of the spice.

NUTRITION

This Gluten-free recipe is 410 calories per serving and has 39g of protein, 24g carbs and 16g fat. It is full of lean ground turkey, bell peppers and sweet potatoes! You get a well balanced meal, full of protein, vegetables and complex carbohydrates all in one. Did I mention it’s DELICIOUS? It is super easy to prep and cook, making this a great last minute meal.

Pro Tip: I use multicolored bell peppers for flavor and fun! I buy red, green & yellow to give it that pop of color! The sweet potatoes are orange, so you have a rainbow of fun!

QUICK WORKWEEK RECIPE

This recipe takes 30 minutes to whip up. It is super easy and did I mention delicious? It is the perfect weeknight meal because you don’t need a ton of ingredients or a ton of time. It is the perfect combo of protein, carbs and veggies all in one dish! I make this big batch and then store it in the fridge for subsequent dinners or lunches. It reheats perfectly! Just throw some lite shredded mozzarella on and you are golden!

I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do! It is definitely a staple in our house!
