Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, cubed
- ½ lb ground turkey
- ½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ avocado, diced
- ½ cup salsa
- ¼ cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Roast the Potatoes: Heat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of taco seasoning. Spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until they are soft and golden.
- Cook the Turkey: While the potatoes are in the oven, brown the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Add the rest of the taco seasoning. Stir it well until the meat is fully cooked.
- Warm the Beans: Pop your black beans in a small pot or microwave just to warm them up a little bit.
- Build Your Bowl: Start with a big scoop of the sweet potatoes. Add the seasoned turkey and the warm black beans right next to them.
- Add the Toppings: Finish your bowl with the diced avocado, fresh salsa, and a dollop of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.
- The Extra Pop: Throw on some fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if you want that extra fresh taste.
Notes
- The Secret to Creaminess: Swap sour cream for cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for a protein-packed, tangy boost.
- Make It Your Own: Easily swap ground turkey for chicken or lentils for a plant-based option.
- The "Wait" Rule: For meal prep, store avocado separately and add it fresh right before eating to prevent browning.
- Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes while browning the meat for an extra kick of heat.
