Creamy Harvest Skillet {Whole30}

I am so excited to share this incredibly easy, nutritious and delicious recipe with you today!!  Last week I tested out smoking a turkey on our traeger (recipe coming next week), so we had tons of leftover turkey to use up.   I was thinking “hmmm I just want to make something easy in a skillet with a creamy sauce!”  And so that is what I did.  All you have to do for this dish is cook some onion, sweet potato and green beans, remove them for a minute while you add in your sauce and thicken it, then add them back in with your protein!  When I first made this I used our leftover turkey but then When I recreated it to take photos I used a rotisserie chicken and it worked super well too.

This dish is Whole30 compliant and is great as it is in a bowl, but if you wanted to add more to it, Matt said he thought it would be great served over mashed potatoes or if you were not trying to whole30 at all, served over some biscuits! Now that sounds incredible.  I also took leftovers of this skillet and chopped them up, then mixed them with some mayo to make a chicken said that ruthie loved.  I put it in a melt with cheese and bread but she opened it up and just ate the chicken salad part and no bread! Shocking I know, but it show you how great it is right?

I can’t wait to hear what you think of this beyond simple meal!!
