Description

A nourishing, one-pan comfort meal that perfectly balances savory lean turkey with the natural sweetness of roasted potatoes. This vibrant skillet is elevated by earthy thyme, fresh garlic, and a gooey layer of melted Gruyère cheese. Designed for busy weeknights, it delivers gourmet flavor in under 30 minutes while keeping prep and cleanup minimal and effortless.


Ingredients

Scale

2 medium sweet potatoes
1 bunch kale, stemmed and torn
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow or white onion, finely diced
1 pound ground turkey
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
8 ounces Gruyère cheese, freshly shredded


Instructions

Microwave sweet potatoes until fork-tender, then peel and cube them into bite-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Add the cooked sweet potato cubes and kale to the skillet, stirring until the kale is wilted.
Top with the shredded Gruyère cheese and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and serve hot.


Notes

Ensure sweet potatoes are completely tender before cubing. You can substitute Gruyère with Swiss or mild white cheddar if preferred. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
