Step-by-Step Instructions for Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and chop any optional vegetables you're using.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and the ground turkey. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, breaking apart until browned.
Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and any additional vegetables. Season generously with salt, pepper, and herbs. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until sweet potatoes start to soften.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a fresh salad or crusty bread.
