Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup spinach, chopped

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes.

      Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

        Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Season with smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.

          In a separate pot, boil diced sweet potatoes for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

            Once the turkey mixture is cooked, stir in the chopped spinach and chicken broth. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted.

              In a large casserole dish, combine the cooked sweet potatoes and turkey mixture, stirring gently to combine.

                Spread the mixture evenly and top with shredded cheese.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

                    Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Casserole!
