How to Make Italian Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet
Prep!
The only prep work I recommend doing is dicing the sweet potato. You should have time to dice or mince the garlic, onions, and peppers while the sweet potatoes are cooking.
Create!
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, deep, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and give them a toss to coat with the oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
Cover the skillet and let the sweet potatoes cook, stirring occasionally, until just fork tender. This takes about 7-10 minutes.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic, finely chop the onion, and dice the peppers.
Once the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, toss in the garlic, onion, and peppers. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the ground black pepper, and the Italian seasoning. We are seasoning as we go so that all the components of the dish are evenly seasoned.
Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the onions and peppers are just soft, then remove the vegetables to a plate or bowl.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the ground turkey to the skillet over medium heat. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Cook, breaking up with a spoon or spatula, until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
Add the vegetables back to the skillet and toss to mix.
Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the skillet in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Present!
Remove the skillet from the oven and top with fresh sliced green onions or parsley, if desired.
Tips and Techniques
- To save time, you can prep the garlic, onion, and peppers while the sweet potatoes cook.
- If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, you can melt cheese in a skillet on the stove top. Spread the cheese on top of the turkey mixture, place the lid on the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- To change up the flavor of the recipe a bit, you can try using ground beef and/or white potatoes.
- Store any leftovers from the Italian Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and use within 3-4 days.
