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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Warm the Beans: Pop your black beans in a small pot or microwave just to warm them up a little bit.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the Toppings: Finish your bowl with the diced avocado, fresh salsa, and a dollop of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.
  6. 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.
