I was talking to my friend on Saturday about how I didn’t plan any recipes yet for meal prep and she sent me this recipe she made last week! We both tweaked the original recipe and used sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes, as the original recipes calls for. I also ended up adding ground turkey to the meal, so I just went ahead and updated the recipe below with the ingredients I used and instructions with what I did. Check out the link at the bottom for the original recipe if you would like to compare. Anyways, I ended up doubling what I listed below to get approximately 9 total meals (I make extra meals for my mom). Since I made so much, I opted for roasting the sweet potatoes separately while everything else was cooking on the stove top. ​The amount of bacon and sweet potatoes to use is really up to you. I typically use the same amount of bacon strips as meals I want to make. The key is just having enough bacon fat to cook the rest of the meal in because that really made everything taste delicious. For such a makeshift recipe, I really ended up enjoying this one! 

Fried Cabbage and Turkey with Bacon and Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground turkey
  • 14 ounces shredded cabbage
  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
  1. Cook bacon on a large nonstick pan over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Transfer bacon to a paper towel to drain. When cool, crumble into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces.
  2. Transfer half the remaining bacon fat into separate frying pan. In separate pan, throw in the ground turkey with some salt, pepper, and any other spices you desire (I added some garlic powder). Cook until turkey is no longer pink.
  3. In the first pan, add potatoes, cabbage, salt, and pepper to the pan, stirring with the bacon drippings. Cover with a lid and cook until the potatoes and cabbage are tender, removing the lid to occasionally stir. (If you have a lot more sweet potatoes, you can roast them in the oven instead at 400F for 20 minutes, flip and roast for another 20 minutes.)
  4. Add minced garlic to the pan, stirring with the other ingredients until fragrant, about a minute.
  5. Remove pan from heat. Add ground turkey and crumbled bacon.
