Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet

Simple easy. Family doesn’t like but a definite easy meal for lunches for me.

Added taco seasoning to the turkey for more flavor. Used 1.5 lb turkey, 1 onion, 2 yellow peppers, and 3 sweet potatos. Cooked onion, pepper, and garlic separate. Turned out really good.

Very good! Super easy to make! I used ground chicken and added more onions and bell peppers. I’ll definitely make it again

So mine turned into an unmitigated disaster having realised quite how bland this was I added old bay seasoning and some more cajun spices. It then felt really dry and as others have said like it was missing a sauce or something so I added in tomato puree, it tasted OK but still just blah so that's where it went wrong... I foolishly added a few splashes of shrimp & crab broil but in a combination of children, cats and post work tiredness I added way too much and then had to turn it into a chilli so I added crushed tomatos and some sour crime... at that point it bore no relation to this recipe other than having turkey and sweet potato. So, in short, don't bother and just make chilli instead!

added some other stuff - good recipe liked it a lot

Put it over rice with lettuce tomato and sour cream. Used 2 sweet potatoes and 1.3 pounds of turkey - split 3 ways - little leftovers

I used red pepper instead of yellow. The meecrowavay was a good trick for speeding up sweet potato. I did qp minutes at 50 percent power. I also add my ingredients differently, like my Nana taught me:onions and pepper, garlic, then turkey, seasoning with each step, sweet potato, cubed, and a handful of mozz. Easy week night dish.

This was very good and I'm interested in making it again but I still felt it was missing something. I did not put the cheese on it, but my husband melted some on his plate and said the cheese really didn't do much for the dish. I almost feel like the dish could've used some kinda sauce or gravy or something just to make it kinda moist? I thought about maybe incorporating like chicken or beef broth, or maybe like a cream of chicken or celery soup and a little water? Generally I'm a pretty good cook but sometimes I just don't know what it might take to make something a little better. I'm not really big on cheese (I know, I know) which is why I left it off my plate.

Added Cajun seasoning and it was very good!

I kicked this recipe up a notch by adding chili powder, ground cumin, ground oregano, and paprika to give it a bit of a taco flavor. I also used two whole bell peppers and one whole onion. Sweet potatoes were cubed and roasted in the oven versus cooking in the microwave. This recipe is a good base and could be slightly altered for different uses!

Loved it! Will definitely make again.

It was just ok. What you would expect from something healthy. Not a lot of flavor and adding a bunch of salt would kind of defeat the purpose

There's is no cheese on this yet and it's only two portions but you can bet I'll be making this again! It was DELICIOUS!! I didn't have yellow peppers but green worked just fine. Absolutely recommend this recipe. The most difficult thing will be NOT eating my lunch prepped for tomorrow now! 😂

My husband actually liked it even with turkey and sweet potatoes.

This is great as a base hash and can be tailored to different spice combos. I added taco seasoning and served with a green salad and tortilla chips.

Made with Italian Sausage instead of Turkey. Added Italian seasoning, sun dried tomatoes, and spinach for extra veggies and flavor.

It was a little bland so I added more salt/pepper and Italian seasoning.

This was good with a swap out of the chili flakes for some berbere. This could have used a few more sweet potatoes.

Added extra pepper in the end. Was good but needed something more. Made it without cheese so that could be all the difference.

I added more spices and diced tomatos

Good starter base to make it our own!

Was good but I added a ton more spices. Otherwise would have been bland

I added in a tablespoon of the homestead seasoning all-purpose blend from savory spice shop. Will make this again!

Needs more spices

My boyfriend thought this was the best, so did our children and I!

I used feta instead of mozzarella and it was delicious.

I added some more spice because it was kind of bland.

Spices: paprika, cayenne, cumin, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Add black beans and spinach Top with avocado and sour cream

⚠️If you want this dish to turn out tasty and not bland, DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS DIRECTLY ⚠️ • Cook and drain your ground turkey BEFORE adding anything to it • Once it is drained, add your seasonings and vegetables (I personally added yellow pepper, yellow onion, garlic powder, ALOT of Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, smoked paprika and chili powder.) • Your food should be fragrant, if it is not then it will be bland. do taste tests, and add more seasoning as needed • Cook and SEASON your sweet potatoes separately because they will need flavor too. (I used butter, black pepper and cinnamon) • Then combine the sweet potatoes with ground turkey and enjoy Optional: (I coated the top with mozzarella and smoked paprika and put it in the oven until cheese melted)

I added white rice. After cutting up the sweet potato I mixed it with some paprika and cinnamon for some flavor.

Others advice and added Worcestershire sauce and extra seasoning to the meat I used a garlic salt pepper onion powder blend. I also added kale for a little extra greenery. I think it was delicious would do again. I ended up doing the sweet potatoes in my instant pot and then using the saute function for the rest of the meal super easy.

Thank you for the inspiration! I added some canned tomato and tex-max spices to it. It was very delicious 😋

This was really tasty and quick! I definitely recommend adding more sweet potatos or adding some rice to fill it in a bit

I added a can of crushed tomatoes and a cup of chicken broth to make it more like a stew. I also added smoked paprika, garlic, basil and oregano. At the end of cooking I added spinach and simmered until it was wilted. I never have any leftovers of this!

🤢

Added: 2 tbsp Worcestershire 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp paprika 3 cloves garlic Lots o salt Pepper Put under broiler to melt cheese at the end.

I think it needed more flavourful sauce in the mix

Very good, next time I’m going to try to sub black beans for the turkey and see if we like it.

Delicious. Added some beef better-than-bouillon to stew with the juices. be sure to salt the onions immediately when they go on.

Added lots more spices than prescribed and turned out wonderful! Also cooked uncovered in oven instead of covered on stovetop and got lovely browning on top

Not very good until I altered it, too bland and dry. I don't have a microwave so I cook sweet potato in boiling water. I also cooked turkey separate from veggies because I knew it would dry out the turkey too fast. But I liked the main ingredients so I added about 1/4 c mango salsa I happened to have, and 1 tso of smoked paprika

I can't eat garlic and chili, so again, no garlic or chili. And it was delicious even so! If you leave out the ground meat, it's also HIT friendly. But cooking sweet potatoes in the microwave? I didn't have the courage for that.

Good filling for lettuce cups (topped with a sauce - sour cream, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika). As per other notes - roasted sweet potatoes (only 20min at 450F needed), added Worcestershire, and vegetable stock (only a splash). Worked with ground pork instead of ground turkey. Eyeballed spice measurements.

Used leftover meat from whole30 stuffed peppers

Very simple but tasty. Family agreed it's a keeper!

Added worcestershire, chili powder, and paprika per the other reviews recommendations. Came out excellent. I also cooked the sweet potatoes like home fries in a separate pan and started the peppers and onions prior to adding the turkey.

This is our new taco filling. Used cheddar because it was on hand. Also used steamable frozen diced sweet potatoes as a time saver. Served wrapped in soft tortillias.

Love this dish. Made it previously before joining whisk and again last night. So filling and hearty. I took a picture of the left overs I brought for lunch. I would cook low and slow after putting in sweet potatoes so that they were softer and juicier. Enjoyed cooking it all in one ( not cast iron) skillet on the stove. Made clean up easy.

A really good dinner, when you change the recipe. 1) dice and roast the sweet potatoes (seasoned with olive oil, paprika, pepper and garlic salt) in the oven at 450° for 30 min, stirring then after 15min. 2) add Worcestershire sauce to the pan with the garlic and turkey 3) add chicken broth (or another kind) to the pan when adding the sweet potatoes I didn’t have a yellow pepper so obviously I didn’t use that.

Added paprika and worcestershire sauce as suggested by others - but clearly not enough of either as it was still bland. Can see why others added stock as it was dry. It was definitely edible, and it was quick and easy, but it's not one we'll repeat unfortunately.

I like it. Very substancial. Used beef instead so flavor is a bit deeper.

I always forget the photo. Pretty good! I added a little more spices than it called for. Cumin, paprika... also 8nstead of microwaving the sweet potato, I peeled and diced them, tossed in oil salt and pepper then roasted in the oven at 450f for 30 minutes tossing halfway through. I also added a Sunnyside egg :) enjoy!

Really loved this. The sweet potato gives it great flavor. Super quick and easy too.

Sehr sehr gut. Statt Chilli habe ich viel geräucherte Paprika reingemacht und es hat allen sehr gut geschmeckt. Wird definitiv ein Standard hier.

4 pounds turkey 6 sweet potatoes 4 peppers

I would add more spices to make it less bland but it was quick and very filling so it’s an easy meal.

My kids even liked it!

The kids loved it too!

Added Worcestershire, paprika, and chili powder.

Good, added some Worcestershire sauce and siracha for flavor, veg stock to keep it moist.

Tasty, especially with a little squirt of Ketsup!

Meh. I added pesto to serve which helped. I think sun-dried tomotos or cherry tomatos would have helped lift it. My boyfriend suggested this would be a good wrap filling idea. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Edit: yes, good in a tortilla wrap.

It was good but too bland and somewhat dry. Added Chicken broth, garlic and Parmesan Cheese. It is a good base for a curry

Delicious I used chicken instead of turkey

This recipe was great! I also added a bit of chicken stock because I felt like it needed more liquid, but a very tasty and easy dish overall.

Surprisingly tasty! Added a small cubed carrot and small cubed zucchini, Italian seasoning rather than basil, and about 1/4 cup crumbled feta instead of mozza. YUM! Definitely make again!

Added extra yellow peppers and chili flakes because I prefer more spice, but delicious 😋

Love this recipe! It’s incredibly easy and very flavorful.
