Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Bake: The Ultimate One-Dish Meal with Smoked-Paprika Excellence

A nutritious and colorful all-in-one bake that combines lean ground turkey with vitamin-rich sweet potatoes and broccoli. Seasoned with smoked paprika and oregano, this dish is savory and satisfying. It’s an ideal meal-prep recipe that provides a perfect balance of protein, complex carbs, and fiber.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

  • Protein: 1 lb ground turkey

  • Vegetables: 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and diced), 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 onion (chopped)

  • Aromatics: 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Liquid/Seasoning: 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Topping: 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish.

  • Sauté: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent (approx. 3–4 minutes).

  • Brown: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned (approx. 5–7 minutes).

  • Season: Stir in the smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  • Mix: In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes and broccoli. Pour in the chicken broth and mix. Add the cooked turkey mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

  • Assemble: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

  • Top & Bake: Sprinkle cheese over the top if using. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

  • Potato Tip: Dice the sweet potatoes into small, uniform ½-inch cubes to ensure they cook through within the 30-minute bake time.

  • Broccoli: If you prefer your broccoli softer, you can blanch it for 2 minutes before mixing; otherwise, it will have a nice “roasted” texture from the bake.

  • Variations: Swap ground turkey for ground chicken or lean ground beef for a different flavor profile.
