This Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Bake is a hearty and wholesome dish that combines savory ground turkey, tender sweet potatoes, and fresh zucchini, all topped with parmesan cheese for a flavorful, healthy meal. Perfect for weeknight dinners, it’s nutritious, easy to prepare, and packed with flavor!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 small zucchini
  • 2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large baking dish and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly in the dish.
  3. Bake the Sweet Potatoes:
    Place the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
  4. Brown the Ground Turkey:
    While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Zucchini:
    Chop the zucchini into slices, then quarter the slices.
  6. Combine Ingredients:
    Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Add the browned ground turkey and chopped zucchini to the baking dish, and toss to combine.
  7. Bake Again:
    Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to soften the zucchini.
  8. Add Olive Oil and Cheese:
    After 10 minutes, remove the dish from the oven. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil and toss the ingredients together. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Final Bake:
    Bake the dish for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  10. Serve and Enjoy:
    Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm and enjoy!
