INGREDIENTS
8 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2 medium Sweet Potatoes
1/2 cup diced Onion
1/4 cup diced Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes and slice them lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick rounds to create the buns. Lightly brush with a bit of olive oil (optional) and season with a pinch of salt.
Place the sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
While the sweet potato buns bake, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until it starts to brown, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the turkey. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 5-7 minutes until flavors meld together and the sauce slightly thickens.
Once the sweet potato rounds are baked and the turkey mixture is ready, spoon a generous portion of the turkey sloppy joe mixture on each sweet potato bun round.
Assemble the sliders by using one sweet potato round as the base and topping it with another round if desired, or simply serve the open-faced version. Enjoy immediately while warm.
