Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey (lean)

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed

• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

• 1 zucchini, chopped

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa (optional for added fiber)

• Fresh cilantro for garnish

• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: On a baking sheet, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the chili powder. Spread in an even layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender, flipping halfway through.

3. Cook the Turkey: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Season the Turkey: Add the remaining chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5. Assemble the Bowls: In meal prep containers, divide the roasted sweet potatoes, turkey mixture, and optional cooked quinoa evenly.

6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.

Make It Your Own: You can swap in other veggies like spinach or kale, and for an extra protein boost, add a poached egg on top before serving!
