Spicy Ground Turkey in Sweet Potatoes

This idea for cooking spicy ground turkey in sweet potatoes sparked because I’ve been too lazy to wait to cook a whole sweet potato in the oven, and I’ve been too lazy to cut the entire potato into fries. So here’s a quick dish I came up with yesterday before work.

Spicy Ground Turkey in Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • Turkey Ingredients
  • 1 pound of 99% lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Cayenne, pepper, salt
  • Sweet Potato Ingredients
  • 3-4 sweet potatoes, cut into rounds
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chopped bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a little bit of the olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once heated, add the raw turkey and let cook.
  2. While the turkey was cooking, coat a pan with olive oil and add the sweet potato rounds. Let them sit in the oil and then flip them to coat both sides. 
  3. Sprinkle the cayenne, cinnamon, and salt and pepper on both sides of the rounds and throw them in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping them after 10. 
  4. Back to the turkey, once the water in the pan starts to evaporate, add the rest of the oil and spices and stir, breaking up the large chunks as you go.
  5. After the turkey begins to brown, add the tomatoes and jalapenos and let cook for about 5 to 8 more minutes so everything browns nicely. Throw in the cucumbers at the end, so they don’t cook. I don’t like them cooked, but I don’t mind them warm. 
  6. When the sweet potatoes are done, line them on a plate to throw the turkey on top. I added the cucumbers to the turkey right before I plated it. You can throw some chopped bacon on top.
