Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

  6. Add diced sweet potatoes and spinach to the skillet and stir until evenly combined with the turkey mixture.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top if using.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the top is lightly golden.
  10. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken for ground turkey if preferred.
  • Add bell peppers or zucchini for extra vegetables.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
