Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 lb sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (for roasting) (preferably Bertolli Extra Virgin)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 each onion (diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1.5 tbsp worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins)
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 12 oz frozen vegetables (Birds Eye classic mixed)
  • 1 cup milk (room temperature helps prevent the sauce from breaking)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup broth
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions 

  • Roast sweet potatoes in olive oil at 400°F (200°C) until tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Sauté diced onion and ground turkey until cooked through, then add garlic powder, salt, Worcestershire sauce, poultry seasoning, and soy sauce.
  • Mix frozen vegetables with cooked turkey mixture and set aside.
  • Prepare gravy by dissolving cornstarch in broth, then simmer with milk and black pepper until thickened.
  • Spread mashed sweet potatoes over the turkey mixture, then top with gravy and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of thyme or rosemary to the mashed sweet potatoes before baking.
