The Best Southwest Sweet Potato Skillet Recipe - Tasting Table
Briefly

"beauty of this sweet potato and ground turkey skillet with lime crema is that it comes together in one dish, with minimal cleanup or fuss required. We start by browning ground turkey, and continue by toasting spices that form the flavor basis for our veggies. Roasted sweet potatoes, bell peppers, purple onion, black beans, and corn deliver all the fresh flavors and colors you need, and a simple, tangy lime crema and some fresh toppings finish it all off with a creamy and spicy flourish."
"For the turkey and potatoes 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 pound ground turkey 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder ½ teaspoon smoked paprika 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes ½ purple onion, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 green bell pepper, diced 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup corn kernels Salt and pepper, to taste"
The skillet combines roasted sweet potatoes, browned ground turkey, bell peppers, purple onion, black beans, and corn seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika for a smoky, spicy base. Browning the turkey and toasting the spices builds savory flavor while the roasted vegetables add sweetness and color. A lime crema of sour cream, lime juice and zest adds tangy creaminess. Cotija cheese, sliced jalapeño, purple onion, tomatoes, and cilantro provide fresh, salty, and spicy toppings. The one-pan method minimizes cleanup and allows the meal to be ready in under 30 minutes. The dish delivers protein, vegetables, and affordable, nutritious weeknight dinner appeal.
