• total time: 27 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 pound free-range extra-lean ground turkey (you also can use grass-fed ground beef)

1 teaspoon garlic clove (minced)

½ cup onions (diced)

½ cup yellow pepper (diced)

1½ cups sweet potato (diced)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mexican seasoning

½ cup feta (add at the end)

Fresh parsley (for garnishing, optional)

Directions

In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the ground turkey and garlic. Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey as it cooks. Stir occasionally, and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the onions and yellow peppers, and cook until the onions are soft.

Add the sweet potato, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

Cover the skillet, and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. If necessary, add more olive oil or a little bit of water to cook the sweet potatoes faster.
