Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground turkey
• 600 grams sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 medium, diced carrots
• 2 diced celery stalks
• 250 ml low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
• 60 ml low-fat milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return them to the pot.

Step 3

Mash the sweet potatoes with olive oil, low-fat milk, nutmeg, and half the salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until no longer pink, about 8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste, low-sodium chicken broth, fresh thyme, and remaining salt and pepper. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Spread the turkey mixture evenly in a baking dish.

Step 9

Top evenly with the mashed sweet potatoes, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is slightly golden.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
