Method
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes and onion, and season with half of the salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes start to soften and turn golden
- 2
Add ground turkey and the remaining salt. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Stir in paprika and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the turkey is browned and cooked through. Confirm the poultry reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a food thermometer.
- 3
Stir in white beans and chopped kale. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, until the kale is wilted and everything is heated through.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds before serving.
Renee's note
“Cut the sweet potato into even pieces so it softens at the same rate before the turkey goes into the skillet. Refrigerate within 2 hours, keep at 40°F (4°C) or below, and use refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days.”
Renee's tweak
Spoon the skillet into a shallow bowl without crushing the sweet potato pieces so the orange cubes and greens stay visible.
