Cumin is a must-have spice in our house. I use it in my homemade taco seasoning and am always looking for new ways to do tacos. My Whole30 Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes were the result of craving tacos like mad and being sick of taco salads, but sometimes I want a simple one-pan meal for easy cleanup & to avoid turning on the oven. Thinking of tweaks led to this easy skillet dinner you'll want to add to your menu plan on a regular basis!
This is an easy sweet potato hash recipe to make in minutes. If you prep meals ahead of time, you can easily have your sweet potatoes peeled and diced in advance. Then, all you have to do is cook according to directions. A great 30-minute meal is a must for busy moms!

AmazonFresh is a great way to get quality groceries delivered straight to your door! They offer a wide range of produce, nuts and seeds, frozen foods, pasta, meat, alcohol, condiments, snacks, canned foods, and more. In many areas, they have a wider range than most grocery stores. Sadly, it's not available in my area, so I get my groceries delivered from Hy-Vee between trips to Whole Foods.
Directions for Taco Sweet Potato Hash with Ground Turkey
1. In a large cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute and then add ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break apart meat and continue cooking approximately 8 minutes until browned.
2. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate.
3. Add onion and bell pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add diced sweet potato and water. Stir and cover with a lid for approximately 6-8 minutes until the sweet potatoes soften. Add additional water during this process if needed to keep the meat from drying out.
4. Remove lid and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Top with shredded mozzarella and allow it to melt. Remove skillet from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Not everyone likes cilantro, so you may want to skip that part of this dish and add as a garnish that is optional. Otherwise, this is a great way to get kids to enjoy a sweet potato hash that is healthy, but full of the taco flavor they love.

Hi Savanah,
This looks and sounds amazing!
Best,
Jenny
This hash looks delicious, I have made a similar one with Thanksgiving flavors. I don’t think you can every have too much cumin, I think it is one of my favorites as well. Thanks for bringing this to FF.
I was just of making the same, but I always end up roasting my sweet potatoes. This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday party!
This is a great skillet of goodness! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with us at Full Plate Thursday. Have a great week and come back to see us real soon!

Hi I was wondering if anyone has the nutrition information on this dish
Davina,
I don’t have a set serving size for this, but it normally feeds my four boys and me with a little left over, so I pulled the nutrition at both 4 servings and 6 servings.
I just made this, and it is delicious! I had everything but cilantro alread. Thanks for posting something doable & delicious!
Glad you loved it 🙂 I’m a huge fan of healthy recipes that don’t keep me in the kitchen all day!
My husband stumled upon this recipe from Google. I was hesitant as I have never tried ground turkey and usually eat pretty clean. Turns out thus is a mean me, my husband (who only eats beef and corn), and my 18 month old love. It is by far one of her favorite meals even as she gets pickier. A staple in our family now and we make it one to two times a month easy!
I love this recipe and have made it at least 5 or 6 times now. I add a poached egg on top…… gives that extra yummy richness to the dish! Everything else is as directed!

Oh yum! I’ll have to try that next time I make this!
Wondering if anybody has ever made this ahead as a freezer meal? Does it reheat well?
I have not tried making this ahead as a freezer meal, but will need to soon!
So good.
Vegetarian style without the ground turkey is also amazing. We threw a sunnyside egg on top and mixed in come cottage cheese- perfection.

Yum! That sounds amazing!
Just made this dish for my daughter who is home from college for the summer,, She is vey excited to share with her roommates in the fall as it’s an easy recipe to follow and so delicious!
