For this one-pan meal, we took a classic potato hash and gave it a little bit of a makeover. We kept the classic bell pepper and onion combo, but swapped in tender sweet potatoes and savory, browned turkey—then topped it all with melty mozzarella. A drizzle of lime crema and tangy pickled onions give this easy-to-love skillet a punchy finish!

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and dice half the onion into 1⁄4-inch pieces; thinly slice remaining onion. Zest and quarter lime. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Dice sweet potato into 1⁄4-inch pieces.

 Pickle Onion
2

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sliced onion, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, juice from three lime wedges, and a pinch of salt (1 tsp sugar and juice from six lime wedges for 4 servings). Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. • Refrigerate until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

Start Skillet
3

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

Add Veggies
4

• Reduce heat to medium. Stir in diced onion, bell pepper, sweet potato, mirepoix paste, Fry Seasoning, 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings), a large drizzle of oil, and as much chili powder as you like. Cover and cook until veggies are softened and turkey is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until all but a thin layer of liquid has evaporated from pan, 3-5 minutes more. (You’ll add more to the skillet in Step 6.)

Mix Crema
5

• Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, combine lime zest, sour cream, and juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings). If necessary, add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. • Season with salt and pepper.

Finish Skillet
6

• Once most of the liquid in pan has evaporated, reduce heat to medium low. Evenly top turkey mixture with mozzarella. • Cover and cook until cheese melts, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Serve
7

• Top skillet with lime crema and pickled onion (draining first). Serve family style directly from skillet.

Ground Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
