This Ground Turkey Skillet Melt is loaded with healthy goodness, including California sweetpotatoes and melty mozzarella cheese!

Topped with a gooey layer of melted cheese, I promise this simple, tasty skillet meal will be your new fall family favorite. The cubed sweetpotatoes cook quickly and bring a mildly sweet element to the dish. It all cooks up in one skillet (cast iron works best) so serving and clean up is easy!  

Serve with a fresh Caesar salad and a slice of toasted sourdough bread for the perfect weekday meal.  

I purchased a pound of Foster Farms ground turkey (love those convenient one pound packages!) and made quick work of this dish. It really is super simple; onions, garlic, sweetpotatoes, and a layer of melted cheese that just takes this dish over the top!  

Of course I had to top it all of with a fresh mincing of parsley that is now growing wild in my garden.

Let’s make this Turkey Skillet:

There are several different colors and varieties of sweetpotatoes which you can check out HERE. I used the garnet (red) sweetpotato. The exterior skin is a reddish brown, but the interior flesh is a beautiful orange.

They are perfect for making sweetpotato fries, too!

Just peel and chop up the sweetpotato into a medium dice…

Salute the onion, garlic, and turkey for a few minutes and then add the sweetpotato and seasoning.  

Top with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.

And broil until nice and crispy…

Sprinkle with fresh, chopped parsley and serve!

Make it tonight! Here is the recipe for ya…
