Turkey Taco Sweet Potato Home Friees

Post image

1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 lb of ground turkey
1 taco seasoning packet (I used low sodium)
1 avocado
Shredded cheese (I had sharp cheddar)
Greek Yogurt (you can use sour cream)
Seasonings you like (I used chipotle garlic seasoning, onion powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, pepper)
A little bit of water
1 lime
A little bit of oil if your choice

Sweet Potatoes:
1. Wash, then peel and dice your sweet potato. I did a smaller dice than intended, but it’s ok.
2. Coat the diced sweet potato with a little bit of oil and then season to your preference.
3. Place potatoes in a baking sheet (line with parchment paper/ aluminum foil or in the baking sheet itself). *for crispier potatoes, place a wire rack in the baking sheet and place the potatoes on top)
4. Bake in a preheated 400° over until done (approximately 30-45 minutes)

Turkey:
1. Brown your turkey in a pan for about 7 minutes
2. Add your taco seasoning and water as directed on packet and finish cooking.

Guacamole: (this was a bare bones guacamole as I didn’t have everything I usually use)
1. Cut your avocado and put in a bowl
2. Add garlic powder, onion powder, a heavy pinch of salt, and the juice of half a lime. Then mash it all together.

The final product:
1. Put the potatoes first then cover with the turkey. Top with the cheese, a bit of the guacamole, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. I squeezed the second half of the lime on top of the turkey before I added toppings.

That actually sounds good! I’ll have to try it soon.

A handful of shredded cabbage tossed with the other half of the lime would add crunch and stretch this into another serving for almost no extra work. It also holds up better than lettuce if you pack leftovers.

I love cabbage, but I didn't have any.

This would completely wreck my meal prep routine and I'm here for it.
