Ingredients

For the sweet potatoes:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 5 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, taste

For the turkey bean mixture:

  • 1 lb ground turkey, can use ground beef or chicken
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeds removed, and diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 oz) can fire roasted tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey jack or cheddar cheese

For the toppings:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in an even layer, it’s ok if some of the potatoes are overlapping a little. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until tender.
  • Cook the turkey mixture. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, onion, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until the turkey is cooked through, and the vegetables are softened.
  • Add garlic & simmer. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, and taco seasoning. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.
  • Assemble. Spoon the turkey and bean mixture evenly over the roasted sweet potatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Finish & serve. Top with cilantro, avocado, and jalapeño ranch. Serve warm.
