A hearty, colorful, and quick skillet dish featuring ground turkey, sweet potatoes, and black beans, topped with a salsa-sour cream drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 cups diced sweet potatoes (about 1 large)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Put the diced sweet potatoes on a plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave for about 5 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and salsa. Chill until serving time.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until only a little pink remains, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid if needed.
  4. Add the hot sweet potatoes, drained black beans, kosher salt, chipotle chili powder, and cumin. Stir to combine. Cook another 5 minutes so flavors meld and everything is heated through.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the top and let it sit for a minute so the residual heat melts the cheese.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions and diced tomato. Serve with dollops of the salsa-sour cream mixture.

Notes

For dairy-free options, use vegan cheese and a nondairy yogurt instead of sour cream.
