Instructions
- Cut sweet potatoes into ¼” - ½" pieces, transfer to a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until easily pierced with a fork, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and se aside. 2. While the potatoes par-boil, heat olive oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat and add peppers and onions. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat in olive oil, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until translucent and slightly softened, about 5 minutes. 3. Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook 3-5 minutes more, until potatoes are softened and onions and peppers are cooked through. 4. Move sweet potatoes, onions and peppers to outer edges of pan. Add butter to center of pan, and once melted, add ground turkey. 5. Season turkey with salt and pepper to taste, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, breaking up into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula until all turkey is cooked through. 6. Once turkey is fully cooked, stir all ingredients to combine, and add the kale to the top. Add chicken stock, reduce heat to low, and cover. 7. Continue cooking covered on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until kale is well cooked/wilted. 8. Bring heat back to medium, stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and top with crumbled goat cheese.
