Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed to 1 inch
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 lb ground turkey (93/7 ratio)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1-2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place the cubed sweet potatoes and halved brussels sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle vegetables with two tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through for even caramelization.
  5. While vegetables roast, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart, and cook until browned and fully cooked through; season as desired.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and dijon mustard.
  8. To serve, assemble bowls with a base of roasted vegetables and turkey, top with a generous dollop of cottage cheese, fresh avocado slices, and drizzle with the maple dijon dressing.

Notes

Ensure sweet potatoes are cut to a uniform size for even cooking. For extra flavor, you can season the turkey with garlic powder or paprika while browning. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
