Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups fresh kale, chopped
  • Dash crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced

Directions

  1. Begin by preparing the ground turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once turkey begins to brown, toss in the chopped onion, shallot, and garlic so they have a chance to caramelize. It should take about 8-10 minutes for turkey to be fully cooked and vegetables to become tender.
  2. Drain the skillet of excess grease and add tomato paste. Cook the mixture for another minute, making sure to stir constantly to prevent sticking.
  3. Add sweet potato, broth, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and immediately reduce heat. Leave to simmer, covered, until sweet potatoes are tender. This step should take about 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally. 
  4. Add kale and red pepper flakes and allow to cook for 2 minutes while stirring. 
  5. Serve with the sliced avocado and alongside rice for a more filling meal option and enjoy!
