Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet

I don't look at my blog analytics very often but when I do, I'm always surprised at the diversity of people who are reading my blog.  I love the fact that my website reaches readers in Australia, Croatia, France and the Netherlands. Call me old fashioned but I'm still amazed at how the internet has given us access to information all over the world.  I'm thrilled that people all over the world can access my recipes but I cant help but wonder what my writing sounds like when translated into Dutch.???

Speaking of new recipes - you're going to want to keep this one close by so that you can make it again and again.  A simple dish with ground turkey, sweet potatoes, pepper and onions is absolutely delicious.  

Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 lbs extra-lean ground turkey

½ cup onions, diced
½ cup yellow pepper, diced
1 ½ cup sweet potato, diced
Salt and pepper
A pinch of red chili flakes

I actually got to enjoy this yummy meal ALL BY MYSELF.  I had a pound of ground turkey and I split it in half.  I browned half of the turkey in a skillet for turkey tacos for Ben and Courtney.  The other half of the turkey, I used to make this yummy turkey skillet dinner.  It was a great dinner and an even better lunch the following day. 

Ciao!
