Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup water or chicken broth
1/2 cup guacamole
1/2 cup pico de gallo or diced tomatoes
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add chopped onion and sauté 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute.
3. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 6–8 minutes.
4. Stir in cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add tomato paste and water. Simmer 5–6 minutes until thickened.
5. While turkey simmers, prepare toppings: mash avocados, chop tomatoes, crumble feta, and chop cilantro.
6. Assemble bowls: add roasted sweet potatoes, ground turkey, and toppings like guac, pico, yogurt, feta, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
7. Customize with extras like black beans, corn, or jalapeños. Add hot sauce or a vinaigrette for extra flair.
8. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, flavor-packed bowl!
Notes
Use lean ground turkey for a healthier and less greasy option, and don’t skimp on the spices for full flavor.
Roast sweet potatoes until golden brown at the edges to enhance their natural sweetness and texture.
Make toppings fresh and layer just before serving for the best temperature contrast and crunch.
