Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Bowl
with mushrooms / baby spinach / fried egg

Active: 40 Total: 55

We took all of the flavors from a holiday meal, including sage, turkey, and sweet potatoes, and turned them into a breakfast-inspired bowl. This meal would be delicious for breakfast or lunch, but we love the cozy, build-your-own-bowl flexibility of serving it for dinner.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F / 204C. Place one oven rack in the upper third and one in the lower third of the oven.

  2. Set out two sheet pans.

  3. Toss sweet potatoes with the first portion of olive oil and some salt and pepper. Spread out on the first sheet pan and roast in the lower third of the oven, turning with a spatula halfway through cooking, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

  4. Toss mushrooms with the second portion of olive oil and spread out on the second sheet pan. Season with some salt. Transfer to the upper third of the oven and toast, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until the mushrooms are very tender and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. 

  5. Next, heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat with the third portion of olive oil. To heated oil add turkey, salt, pepper, garlic, and sage. Saute turkey, breaking it apart until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.

  6. Stir baby spinach into turkey (it will seem like a lot but will reduce down). Cover the pan with a lid or foil for a few minutes to help the spinach wilt quickly. Remove the cover and cook the turkey and spinach together until spinach is completely wilted and any excess water has evaporated. Transfer turkey and spinach to a bowl.

  7. Wipe out the nonstick skillet and return it to the stovetop. Reduce heat to medium.

  8. To heated skillet, add the fourth portion of oil. Crack the eggs into heated oil and fry on one side for sunny-side up or flip for over easy.

  9. Divide the sweet potatoes, turkey, and mushrooms between serving bowls (or set everything out to assemble at the table). Top each bowl with a fried egg seasoned with some salt and pepper and pepitas. Serve with hot sauce on top if you'd like. Enjoy!
