Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey meat
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth
  • 1 cup mixed frozen peas and corn
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes until they are tender.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks until browned.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, then pour in the chicken or beef broth. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Stir in the frozen peas and corn.
  • Spread the meat mixture evenly into a 2-quart baking dish. Top with the mashed sweet potatoes, ensuring the filling is completely covered. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the potato topping starts to brown.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.
