Ground turkey browns fast and soaks up whatever it's cooked alongside, which makes it a natural partner for diced sweet potato and fresh sage. Fifteen minutes after the pan hits the stove, this reads like a full dinner instead of a rushed weeknight fix.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium sweet potato, diced small
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup bone broth
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes until starting to soften.
- Push sweet potato to one side, add remaining olive oil, and add ground turkey to the empty side of the pan. Break it up and cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
- Stir turkey and sweet potato together, add bone broth, sage, and salt. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until sweet potato is fully tender.
- Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Taste and adjust salt before serving.

Why This Is Good for Your Gut
Ground turkey provides easily digestible protein without the histamine load of aged or cured meats, which matters for sensitive guts, similar to the poultry in our Turkey Vegetable Soup with Ginger and Greens. Sweet potato supplies beta-carotene and gentle soluble fiber, and spinach adds folate and magnesium without the raw crunch that some cruciferous vegetables bring.
One skillet, one cutting board, and dinner's done before you'd finish scrolling through takeout options, much like our Coconut Lime Shredded Chicken.
