Jerk Seasoned Turkey With Sweet Potatoes, Greens And Kidney Beans

If you look back through the recipes I’ve posted over the last few years you’ll see that I’m a fan of caribbean food, I particularly love the flavours associated with jerk seasonings. This is my attempt at carrying over those flavours into my current experiments with batch cooking and turkey mince.

You will need:
1000g turkey mince
2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 inch piece of ginger, grated
3 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp allspice
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp hot chilli powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp nutmeg
0.5 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp vegetable oil (rapeseed oil)
2 peppers, roughly chopped
3 medium sweet potatoes, cut into roughly 1.5cm chunks
1 tin of red kidney beans in water (do not drain)
200g chopped spring greens

Method:
1. In a large bowl mix together the turkey mince, onions, garlic, ginger and spices then set aside to marinade.
2. Warm the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat.
3. Add the turkey mix and cook for 5 - 10 minutes, until the turkey is cooked through and the onions start to soften.
4. Add the peppers, sweet potatoes and tin of beans, including the water, cover with the saucepan lid and cook for 10 - 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
5. Add the greens and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, until wilted.

Notes:
As with previous recipes, this is meant to be an all in one meal, however, if you wanted to bulk it out simply serve this over plain boiled rice.
