1 oven preheat to 400°F
1 baking sheet
1 large skillet
- 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
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.
- Use a fork to leave sweet potatoes chunky for better texture.
- Adjust seasoning to taste during cooking.
- Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days.
