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.

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 loveusing myspiralizerto 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.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey to the skillet along with salt, cumin, and pepper.
Halfway through cooking the ground turkey, add the sweet potato noodles. Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing with a spatula. You can add a few tbsp of broth to prevent noodles from sticking.
Add in baby spinach and cook for a few more minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Notes
I used pre-spiralized sweet potatoes from Whole Foods in this recipe, but feel free to use a spiralizer and make your own sweet potato noodles.
If you aren’t a fan of sweet potatoes, feel free to substitute them with zucchini noodles! Adjust cooking time as needed.
To make this meal meat-free, use diced mushrooms or tofu instead of ground turkey.
