Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound ground lean turkey

Vegetables & Fruits

  • 2/3 cup diced onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3.5 cups peeled and diced sweet potato
  • 1.5 cups diced apples
  • 1.5 cups sliced Brussels sprouts

Pantry & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and then the ground turkey. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains in the meat.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to soften the onions and infuse the garlic flavor.
  3. Set Aside Turkey Mixture: Scoop the cooked turkey, onions, and garlic into a bowl and set aside temporarily.
  4. Cook Vegetables and Apples: To the empty skillet, add the sliced Brussels sprouts, diced apples, and peeled diced sweet potatoes. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and cover with a lid. Let cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables and sweet potatoes are softened.
  5. Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the cooked turkey and onion mixture back into the skillet with the vegetables. Mix everything well, cover again, and cook for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors and heat through.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and serve warm. This dish pairs well as a main or can be used as a filling for wraps or toppings for salads.
