Prep 15 min · Cook 20 min

Heat two thirds of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potato cubes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until they begin to brown on the edges.
Add the onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes until the onions are translucent and the peppers have softened.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan and add the remaining oil to the center. Add the ground turkey to the oil. Season with the smoked paprika, half the salt, and the black pepper. Let the meat sear for 2 minutes, then break it into small crumbles with a spoon and cook for 3 minutes more until mostly browned.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 8 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and the turkey is fully cooked. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Remove the lid and stir in the lime juice. Taste and add the remaining salt if needed. Transfer to a plate and top with the green onions.
