Description

A comforting and wholesome casserole made with lean ground turkey, sweet potatoes, and a blend of nutritious vegetables topped with gooey cheese.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 cups, cubed)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
  3. Add the ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme, and cook until browned (about 5–7 minutes).
  4. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the spinach or kale until wilted.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the turkey-veggie mixture with cubed sweet potatoes and toss well.

For added flavor, consider varying the vegetables or using different types of cheese. Always ensure to let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing.
