INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 medium finely diced white onion

• 1 tablespoon tomato paste

• ½ teaspoon chili powder

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder or to taste

• ½ teaspoon ground cumin

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

• 1 pound ground organic turkey

• 2 cups sweet potato cut into ½ inch pieces

• 15 ounces canned black beans drained and rinsed

• 15 ounces chunky salsa (make sure it’s sugar free)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

2. Once oil is hot, add onions, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano and tomato paste. Cook until the onions start to turn translucent or approximately 2 minutes.

3. Add the ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the turkey is mostly browned.

4. Add sweet potatoes*, black beans and salsa to the skillet. Stir to combine.

5. Cover the skillet and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 12-14 minutes.

6. Once the sweet potatoes are tender, add in spinach and mix until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

7. Serve hot topped with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a little lime juice.

   • *you can also bake the sweet potatoes for 20-30 minutes on 425 and toss in at the end.
