Ingredients
  

For the roasted sweet potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper

For the protein and toppings

  • 1 cup cooked black beans (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 lb ground turkey, seasoned and cooked
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded romaine or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or defrosted)
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • Lime wedges and chopped cilantro, for serving
  • Optional crunchy topping: pepitas or toasted chopped pecans

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Cooking

  • Roast the sweet potatoes for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until edges are caramelized and potatoes are tender.
  • While the potatoes roast, brown the ground turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat with a pinch of salt and remaining chili powder. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
  • In a small pan, warm the black beans and corn together with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of cumin for 3–4 minutes.

Assembly

  • Layer greens in bowls, add roasted sweet potatoes, the seasoned turkey, beans and corn, sliced avocado, red onion, and a handful of pepitas. Finish with a drizzle of yogurt-lime sauce or your favorite salsa and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even roasting. High heat roasting creates caramelization. You can make this meal-prep friendly by roasting a double batch and storing portions for up to four days.
