Ingredients
1. 1lb of ground turkey (the leaner the better, you are trying to be healthy!)
2. 1 tablespoon each of dried basil, parsley, thyme, marjoram and chives.
3. 2 – 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper (4 1/2 teaspoons total smartypants)
4. 4 sorta medium sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch chunks.
5. 1 teaspoon olive oil
6. 1 cup vegetable broth
7. 1/8 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Recipe
1. Take the ground turkey, all the spices and 1 each teaspoon of salt and pepper and put into a bowl and knead like you were making bread.
2. When it is really well mixed, put it into a pan and cook it, stirring often. You are looking for an appearance similar to breakfast sausage when you don’t make it into patty’s. Just a bunch of loose meat really.
3. When it is fully cook, reduce the heat to medium-low, add vegetable broth, stir well and cover.
4. Bowl the sweet potatoes until they are boiled.
5. Your choice here, the picture is of a sweet potato mash. You can make it as lumpy or smooth as you want. It’s your world. It’s really about how much of the water you boiled it in do you add to it to get the consistency correct.
6. Put roughly 1/4 of it onto a plate. Should be about 4 ounces or so.
7. Measure out 4 ounces of the turkey mixture, put on sweet potatoes. Then spoon out 2 tablespoons of the brothy goodness and put it on top of that.
8. Put the shredded cheese on top of that.
Its pretty yummy and a great dish for phase II people. It is also infinitely changeable. Substitute cilantro, coriander, cumin and dried chiles for the spices in the same ratio and you got something a little different. Experiment and let me know what you think.
