Instructions

Step 1

Cook your turkey. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan (it needs to be large - I used 12 inches) over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil, and let it get hot. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula or meat chopper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on the outside and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 2

Cook your veggies. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to your pan. Then add sweet potatoes, onions, and salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Add about 2 tablespoons water, cover with a lid, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, you can add a little more water halfway through to help them cook.

Step 3

Next, add the peppers, mix to combine, cover again, and cook for another 5 minutes

Step 4

Then add your kale, a little more salt and pepper, and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes. All the veggies should be tender at this point.

Step 5

Bring it all together. Turn down heat to low and add your ground turkey (with the juices) and the spices to the pan and stir well to combine. Finally, top with shredded cheese to cover the turkey mixture and let melt, for about 1-2 minutes. If needed, you can cover the pan with a lid.
