Ingredients

  • A drizzle of fragrant olive oil
  • A generous amount of lean ground turkey
  • A heap of finely diced onion
  • A mound of vibrant green bell pepper
  • A handful of minced garlic cloves
  • A pinch of savory salt
  • A dash of zesty black pepper
  • A sprinkle of aromatic dried oregano
  • A hint of earthy cumin
  • A touch of smoky ancho chile powder
  • A whisper of warm cinnamon
  • A can of juicy diced tomatoes
  • A dollop of creamy pumpkin
  • A mountain of mashed sweet potatoes, seasoned to perfection
  • A pinch of flavorful smoked paprika

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), creating the perfect environment for your culinary masterpiece to come to life.

Step 2

In a generously sized oven-proof skillet, let a splash of olive oil dance and sizzle over medium-high heat. Add in the ground turkey and let it dance in the pan until it turns a beautiful golden brown, about 5 minutes of flavorful magic. Lower the heat to medium and toss in the onion, bell pepper, garlic, a sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, a hint of oregano, a touch of cumin, a pinch of ancho chile powder, and a whisper of cinnamon. Let this aromatic symphony simmer and mingle, stirring occasionally until the onions and peppers become soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes of simmering serenity.

Step 3

Next, add the tomatoes and pumpkin to the mix, letting their vibrant colors and flavors enhance the dish. Now, the finishing touch - a generous layer of mashed sweet potatoes lovingly spread over the top, like a cozy blanket on a winter's night, sprinkled with a dusting of smoky paprika for that extra touch of warmth and depth.

Step 4

Place your skillet in the preheated oven and let it bake until all the flavors have harmonized perfectly and the sweet potatoes have achieved a delightful golden hue, around 30 minutes of anticipation.

Step 5

As you take in the comforting aromas wafting from your oven, you know that a delicious and heartwarming meal is about to be served. Enjoy the fruits of your labor with loved ones, savoring each bite of this autumn-inspired creation.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. When preparing your sweet potato shepherd's pie, make sure to store your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness and flavor.
  2. 2. Utilize airtight containers to store any leftover cooked sweet potatoes from the recipe. This will help preserve their moisture and prevent them from spoiling too quickly.
