A cozy one-dish bake featuring browned ground turkey, cubed sweet potatoes, creamy mushroom soup, and melted cheese, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (lean or regular)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into ~1/2–3/4 inch pieces
  • 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar recommended)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Heat 1–2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon and cooking until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
  5. Combine the cooked turkey mixture with cubed sweet potatoes and cream of mushroom soup in a large mixing bowl, stirring until the potatoes are coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the sweet potatoes and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute cream of mushroom with cream of chicken or Greek yogurt and omit cheese for a dairy-free version. Ground turkey can be swapped for chicken, beef, or plant-based protein.
