Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter )or ghee for whole30), divided
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 pound ground turkey
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 large onion finely diced
3 garlic cloves, grated
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 zucchini, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 cups fresh or frozen diced green beans
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted boiling water over high heat and cook for about 15 minutes until fork tender. Whip the sweet potatoes with one tablespoon of butter/ghee and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt using a fork or a handheld mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the turkey, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper.
Melt remaining butter/ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and remaining salt and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Next add the garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the corn, zucchini, bell pepper and green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Using your spatula, Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and brown the turkey mixture for another 6-8 minutes until cooked through. Stir all ingredients together and taste, adding extra salt if necessary.
Transfer to a 9x13 baking dish greased with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Top with the meat mixture with the sweet potato mash and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is just starting to crisp.
Sprinkle with ¼ cup parmesan cheese ribbons and Serve.
