Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
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.
Mash the sweet potatoes with olive oil, low-fat milk, nutmeg, and half the salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
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.
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.
Spread the turkey mixture evenly in a baking dish.
Top evenly with the mashed sweet potatoes, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
