2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes

1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil, whichever you like more

1 whole yellow onion, chopped finely

# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Warm up your olive oil in a big pan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and garlic, cooking them for 2-3 minutes until they smell awesome and look soft and shiny.
02 -
Throw the diced sweet potatoes into the pan. Stir them off and on for about 10 minutes until they begin to soften but don’t get mushy yet.
03 -
Slide the sweet potatoes over to one side of the skillet. Add the ground turkey to the empty spot and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until it’s browned and there’s no pink left.
04 -
Sprinkle the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the pan. Mix everything so the flavors coat the ingredients well.
05 -
Add the spinach and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the spinach softens and the bell pepper gets tender. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with parsley before eating.

Swap out the ground turkey for beef, chicken, or even plant-based choices if you feel like it.
