Preparing the Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Bake is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the ingredients.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté onions and bell peppers until they are soft (about 5 minutes).
3. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Cook Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking apart any clumps (approximately 7-10 minutes).
5. Season: Sprinkle in paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine well.
6. Mix in Sweet Potatoes: Add diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir intensely for a few minutes to coat them in the spice mixture.

8. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
9. Uncover and Add Cheese: After 25 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheese on top if using. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
10. Garnish: Once out of the oven, garnish the bake with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
