Peel and dice sweet potatoes and set aside.
Start cooking a pot of rice, if serving with rice.
In a skillet with a lid on medium heat, add ground turkey and season with salt and pepper. Cook until at least 90% cooked through.
Once the turkey has mostly cooked, add spinach and sweet potatoes to skillet. Add water to pan if necessary (see notes). Cover with lid.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
Add spices to skillet and toss to coat, breaking up spinach pieces but being careful not to squish sweet potatoes.
Serve over cooked rice or riced cauliflower if desired.
