Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
-
Season the mixture with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to combine and cook for another minute.
-
In a separate pot, cook the diced sweet potatoes in boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Drain the sweet potatoes and add them to the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine.
-
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and top with shredded cheese, if desired.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño to the dish.
You can substitute the ground turkey with other meats or plant-based protein options.
