Instructions

1

Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and ground turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and fragrant, about 6-8 minutes.

2

Add the finely diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and begin to caramelize slightly at the edges.

3

Season the mixture with a generous pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and warm spices like cumin and a touch of cinnamon to honor the picadillo tradition. If the pan feels dry, add a splash of water to steam the potatoes through.

4

Toss in the fresh spinach in large handfuls, folding it gently into the turkey and potato mixture until just wilted and glossy, about 2 minutes.

5

Remove from heat. To serve, portion into a wide bowl, finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to cut the sweetness of the potatoes, and garnish with a few toasted almonds for texture if desired (included in calorie count).
