Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive or avocado oil
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (swap for lean ground beef if you prefer)
- ½ white onion, diced
- 2 medium sized sweet potatoes, diced (about 1 ½ lbs)
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (adjust to spice preference)
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- Juice from 1 lime
- ¾ cup shredded cheese, optional
- Chopped cilantro or sour cream/plain Greek yogurt, optional for topping
Instructions
- Begin by chopping and prepping all of the vegetables and sweet potatoes.
- Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground turkey and break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Add the onion, sweet potato, bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Mix until combined. Next, add the garlic, salt, chili powder, cumin, and red enchilada sauce. Mix well.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once the sweet potatoes are tender, mix in the lime juice and then sprinkle the cheese over top (optional). Place the lid back on for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt or carefully broil the pan in the oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve with chopped cilantro and sour cream if desired.
Notes
- This dish is gluten-free with the use of a gluten-free enchilada sauce. For dairy-free, simply omit the cheese.
