One Pan Turkey Sausage Kale and Sweet Potato Skillet

This is a nutrient dense, high protein meal made with real, whole food ingredients to support gut health and everyday performance. It’s a clean, balanced recipe that boosts energy, stabilizes blood sugar, and keeps weeknight cooking effortless.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey sausage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced small
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cups chopped kale (or spinach)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • Salt + black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for a little heat
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and diced sweet potato. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes start to soften. I sometimes add a splash of water to get the potatoes cooking.
  2. Add the turkey sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Add garlic and cook one more minute.
  3. Add the bell pepper, kale, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook another 5–7 minutes, until veggies are tender and kale is wilted.
  4. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and taste to adjust seasoning.
