# Instructions:
01 -
Peel and dice 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice 1 yellow onion and 1 red bell pepper. Mince 3 cloves garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, minced garlic, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water for the honey garlic sauce.
02 -
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced 2 medium sweet potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender and lightly browned. This forms the base for your delicious 30-Minute Turkey Sausage & Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce.
03 -
Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add 1 lb ground turkey sausage to the other side. Break it up with a spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
04 -
Add the diced 1 yellow onion and 1 red bell pepper to the skillet with the turkey sausage and sweet potatoes. Stir in 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt, to taste. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until vegetables soften.
05 -
Give the prepared honey garlic sauce a quick re-whisk. Pour the entire sauce mixture over the turkey sausage, sweet potatoes, and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly. The sauce will thicken as it heats, creating a luscious glaze for your 30-Minute Turkey Sausage & Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce.
06 -
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and coats all the ingredients beautifully. Ensure everything is heated through and well combined.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish generously with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful 30-Minute Turkey Sausage & Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce.
