Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet with Brussels Sprouts & Apples

Do you love a good, savory meal? Me too! This 1 skillet recipe is easy to make and sure to hit the spot!

Made with lean ground turkey, onions, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts and apples. This dish definitely feels like a fall meal but can also be enjoyed at any time of year.

The best part? You can use this recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Why I Love This Recipe

One of my favorite things about this dish is the variety of flavors. The apples and sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness and the turkey and brussels sprouts add more savory notes.

It's the perfect fall harvest meal. You can get creative too and substitute the apples and brussels sprouts for other favorite fall produce.

I don't add too many seasonings to this recipe because it naturally has so much flavor. The salt from the broth helps bring out those flavors, which is why it's one of the most important steps.

Plus, the broth helps cook the fibrous sweet potatoes quickly and keeps the turkey moist....no one likes dry turkey!

But the best part might be that it comes together so easily in 35 minutes and the versatility in using the recipe is truly endless!

Pair it with eggs and toast and BOOM brunch is ready. Or add in a grain like rice, farro or quinoa to make a main dish for lunch or dinner....some many options. We'll get into more creative meal inspiration at the end of the post!

Plus, it comes together easily in one pan. One-pan meals are hard to beat for easy clean-up and ease of cooking!

Skillet Instructions

In just a few simple steps, you can have a healthy fall harvest skillet hash ready to go! All you need is one large skillet and a small bowl.

Since there's only so much room in the skillet, we'll need the bowl to hold the cooked turkey while the veggies cook in the pan.

Below, is the recipe laid out in 6 easy steps.

1. Start by heating your large skillet or pan over medium heat. The first item to cook is the ground turkey since it's raw. Once you can tell it's cooked through with no pink you are good to move on to the next step!
2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook them with the turkey for about 3 more minutes so that they soften.
3. Scoop the turkey and onions into a bowl and set aside to make room for the other ingredients.
4. In the skillet, add the chopped sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts and apples.
5. Pour the veggie or chicken broth over the fruit and vegetables. This will help them steam and cook quickly! Cover with a lid and give it about 15 minutes to soften up....it'll smell amazing!
6. Add the turkey and onions back to the skillet, mix all together and cover with the lid for 5 more minutes to bring all the flavors together.

And that's it - you got a large skillet full of yummy fall flavors, ready for enjoying!

Serving Suggestions

Breakfast: Create turkey hash breakfast burritos by adding in scrambled eggs to a tortilla with the ground turkey mixture plus some spinach and cheese. Or try cooking an egg over easy in the center of the skillet. Make room for an egg in the center and cover the skillet to help the egg cook.

Lunch or Dinner: Cook a grain like rice, quinoa or farro. Toss it all together for a warm and filling fall meal. If you're a stuffed peppers fan, try this as a beef alternative for the stuffing!

Salad Options: Add beans, greens and tortilla chips for a taco salad spin-off!
