Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

2 cups baby spinach

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown.

    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

      Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

        Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

          Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.

            Fold in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

              Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
