Description

This Juicy Ground Turkey with Green Beans and Sweet Potato recipe is a quick and nutritious meal perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner. Featuring tender ground turkey sautéed with seasoned green beans and sweet potato cubes, this dish combines simple ingredients for a flavorful and balanced plate.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 oz ground turkey
  • 1 medium sweet potato, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 eggs

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash and trim the green beans before cutting them into 1-inch pieces. Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
  2. Cook the sweet potatoes. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  3. Add the ground turkey. Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the ground turkey. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Break up the turkey with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the green beans. Stir the green beans into the skillet with the turkey and sweet potatoes. Cook everything together for an additional 3-4 minutes until the green beans are tender-crisp.
  5. Cook the eggs. In a separate non-stick pan, fry or scramble the eggs until cooked to your liking, adding a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
  6. Plate and serve. Divide the turkey, green beans, and sweet potato mixture among plates and top each with an egg. Serve warm for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken or lean beef for the ground turkey if preferred.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving.
  • Sweet potatoes can be swapped for regular potatoes or butternut squash.
  • To make this meal gluten-free, ensure all seasonings are free from gluten-containing additives.
  • For extra protein, consider adding a side of avocado or a small salad.
