Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add 1 lb ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and slightly browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 large diced sweet potato, 1 medium diced onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pot, stirring to combine, and cook for 5 minutes until onion is translucent and sweet potato begins to soften.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and black pepper; bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes until sweet potato is tender and flavors meld.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat, stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro until evenly distributed and the aroma is fresh.
