A nutritious and flavorful family dinner featuring lean turkey, sweet potatoes, and melted cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 medium bell peppers, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, packed
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey along with your spices and cook for 5–7 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break the meat apart until thoroughly browned.
  3. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the same skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes just until the edges begin to soften. Transfer this mixture to a bowl with the cooked turkey.
  4. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and fresh spinach to the bowl containing the turkey and peppers. Toss the ingredients until the spinach is evenly distributed and the potatoes are well-coated in the pan drippings and spices.
  5. Transfer the combined mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Pour the chicken broth over the top.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes to tenderize the root vegetables.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven, discard the foil, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface. Return the dish to the oven uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute ground turkey with lentils or chickpeas. Adjust spices to personal taste for more heat.
