Description
Warm up with this healthy one-pot ground turkey bowl with sweet potato, and kale. In just 35 minutes you’ll have a cozy, nourishing, anti-inflammatory dinner. Leftovers taste even better for lunch the next day.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon walnut oil (see substitutions)
1 small purple onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed, peeled, and minced
1 teaspoon fine mineral salt
1 large sweet potato with skin, chopped
1 pound organic ground turkey
2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced (from about 10 leaves)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Gluten-free coconut aminos (such as Coconut Secret)
1 large bunch curly kale, washed, stems removed, leaves torn into pieces
1/4 cup walnuts (optional)
Finishing salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
Sauté the Onions: Heat the walnut oil in a large, 6.5-quart pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes.
Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the sweet potatoes and ¼ teaspoon salt to the sautéed veggies. Stir, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey, sage, coconut aminos, and remaining salt to the pot, stirring to break up the turkey. Cover and cook until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes.
Steam the Kale: Stir the turkey mixture and add the kale on top. Recover to capture the steam and cook for 3 minutes or until the turkey is firm and opaque. Once cooked, remove from heat, add the walnut pieces, and stir the pot to combine all the ingredients.
Serve your ground turkey bowls and season with finishing salt and fresh pepper to taste.
Refrigerate leftovers in a glass container for up to 3 days.
Notes
Nut Allergy Substitutions: Omit the walnuts and use extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil to sauté the veggies. Olive oil has a lower smoke point, so use medium-low heat.
For Coconut Allergies: Use any chicken broth or stock instead of coconut aminos and add 1 teaspoon of pure maple syrup to boost the flavor.
You can substitute ground chicken for turkey in this recipe.
