Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground turkey

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ground Turkey: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into even chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Combine and Bake: In a baking dish, evenly spread the cooked ground turkey. Place the diced sweet potatoes on top or mix them in. Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes if you’d like the top to be slightly crispy. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can add vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
  • Ground turkey can be replaced with ground chicken or turkey sausage for variation.
  • Seasonings can be adjusted to your taste preferences; adding chili powder can give it a spicy kick.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are cut evenly for consistent baking.
  • This bake can be prepared in advance and reheated for meals throughout the week.
