Equipment

  • 1 oven preheat to 400°F
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 sweet potatoes scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1.25 lb ground turkey
  • 1.5 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup queso fresco crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 35-45 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  • While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground turkey for 4-5 minutes until no pink remains.
  • Add taco seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the turkey, cooking for 1-2 more minutes to develop flavors.
  • Divide roasted sweet potatoes among bowls and gently mash them slightly to create a chunky base.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with the cooked turkey, then add dollops of sour cream, followed by pico de gallo, guacamole, queso fresco, and cilantro.

Notes

  • Use a fork to leave sweet potatoes chunky for better texture.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste during cooking.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days.
