Sweet Potato Noodles Skillet

Even though this Sweet Potato Noodle Skillet is made with minimal ingredients, it still yields a flavorful and delicious result. Grain-free, gluten-free, and can be adapted to be vegan-friendly. Have you tried sweet potato noodles? I often use zoodles aka zucchini noodles in my recipes, but after stumbling across these pre-spiralized sweet potato noodles at Whole Foods, I had to give them a try… and they did not disappoint! I am constantly amazed at how the simplest of dishes can be so satisfying. This recipe only uses 7 ingredients and can be whipped up in as little as 20 minutes. Also, if you like ground turkey, be sure to check out my recipes for Skillet Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy and Italian-Style Turkey Burgers! Sweet potato noodles are a great option if you are on a grain-free diet. Even if you aren’t, you’ll love this simple and tasty dish! It can easily be made meat-free by subbing the ground turkey for grilled mushrooms or tofu, simply sauté them in a little oil or broth before adding the other ingredients. I love using my spiralizer to make veggie noodles, but it’s nice to have the option to skip a step and have them all spiralized and ready to go. If you don’t own a spiralizer, call your local Whole Foods and ask if they have pre-spiralized veggies. It’s a huge time-saver, plus a great way to change meals up in a healthy and delicious way.
