Ingredients

For the Veggies:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, ends removed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

For the Ground Turkey:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Maple Dijon Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

For the bowls:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Add the sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts to a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until well coated. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes, for until veggies are tender, tossing halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, cook the turkey. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey and break into chunks. Season with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until no pink remains and the turkey is browned.
  • Make the maple Dijon sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • To assemble the bowls, divide the roasted veggies, turkey, cottage cheese, and avocado between four bowls. Top with pickled red onions and a drizzle of the maple Dijon sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

How to Store:
  • Fridge: Store each component in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat: Warm the veggies and turkey in the microwave or a skillet. Add fresh avocado, cottage cheese, sauce, and toppings just before serving.
  • Freezer: The turkey and roasted veggies freeze well. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as needed. (Avoid freezing avocado and cottage cheese.)
