2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

06 -
2 garlic cloves, chopped up small
→ Seasonings
07 -
Salt and pepper as needed
08 -
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning blend
09 -
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
→ Topping
10 -
1 cup of shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
11 -
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and rub some olive oil inside a large baking dish.
02 -
Warm up a big skillet over medium heat. Pour in olive oil, throw in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often until the onion turns see-through.
03 -
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it into small pieces as it cooks for 5-7 minutes or until it browns. If there's any extra grease, drain it off.
04 -
Toss in the diced sweet potatoes, zucchini, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let everything cook together for 5-7 minutes until the veggies begin to soften up.
05 -
Scoop the turkey and vegetable mix into the greased baking dish and smooth it out. Sprinkle the cheese all over the top.
06 -
Pop it in the heated oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes. The cheese should be gooey and golden, and the sweet potatoes tender.
07 -
Take it out of the oven and let it sit for a few minutes to cool. If you'd like, sprinkle some parsley on top before enjoying.
# Notes:
01 -
Ground turkey brings lean protein, while sweet potatoes and zucchini add great vitamins and nutrients.
02 -
Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They're perfect for lunch the next day!
03 -
Skip the cheese or use dairy-free cheese to make it dairy-free.
04 -
Enjoy with a side salad or crusty bread to complete your meal.
