Description

A hearty and nutritious ground turkey sweet potato bake that the whole family will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add ground turkey and garlic to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the turkey, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Stir in diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in baby spinach until wilted.
  5. Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread half in the prepared baking dish, top with turkey mixture, then add remaining sweet potatoes on top.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender and slightly golden. Serve warm.
