Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by heating a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.
- Next, add 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Sauté for approximately 8 minutes, or until the turkey is evenly browned and no longer pink.
- Once the turkey is browned, sprinkle in 1.5 tablespoons of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to ensure the spices evenly coat the turkey.
- After seasoning, mix in 1 cup of diced onion and the yellow bell pepper. Sauté the mixture for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
- Now, fold in 3 cups of diced sweet potatoes along with ½ cup of water. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow it to cook for 6–8 minutes.
- Remove the lid and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Top the mixture with ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt.
- Finally, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with ¼ cup of chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.

Notes
Ensure the skillet is not overcrowded and consider parboiling the diced sweet potatoes for quicker cooking. Tweak the spices to your taste and enjoy fresh herbs for added flavor.
