Description
A protein-rich bowl designed to support muscle building with lean turkey and nutrient-dense sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 large sweet potato, cubed
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the cubed sweet potato with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
- While the sweet potato roasts, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potato, steamed broccoli, and cooked ground turkey among them.
- Top each bowl with chopped pecans.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sweet potatoes before roasting.
- You can substitute chicken breast for ground turkey.
- Other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers can be added.
