Ingredients

  • 700 g sweet potatoes
  • 380 g turkey mince
  • 200 g red pepper
  • 150 g tinned sweetcorn
  • 100 g onion
  • 2 1/4 tsp olive oil

Method, step by step

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 2 cm cubes, spread on a baking tray, drizzle with half the oil and a pinch of salt, and roast for 20-22 minutes until tender and golden outside.
  2. Meanwhile, dice the onion and red pepper small and sauté in a large frying pan with the rest of the oil over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Turn up the heat, add the turkey mince, and brown it, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink.
  4. Add the sweet paprika and the drained sweetcorn, season with salt and pepper, and sauté 2 more minutes so the flavour come together.
  5. Divide the roasted sweet potato between two bowls and top with the turkey, pepper, and sweetcorn. Serve hot.
