Lean Turkey Sloppy Joe Sliders with Sweet Potato Buns
Enjoy a creative twist on classic sloppy joes by replacing traditional buns with nutrient-packed sweet potato rounds. Lean ground turkey is simmered with a rich tomato and spice mixture, creating a hearty and satisfying filling that pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness and robust texture of baked sweet potato 'buns'. This dish is both delicious and balanced, providing a lean protein punch without the extra carbs of traditional bread.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Sweet Potato
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1/4 cup diced Onion
1/2 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Seasonings: salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash the sweet potato and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds to serve as your buns.
Place the sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly crisp around the edges.
While the sweet potato buns are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the diced onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Crumble in the lean ground turkey and cook until it is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Break up the meat as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato paste along with a pinch each of cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Once the turkey mixture has thickened slightly and the flavors are well blended, remove it from the heat.
Assemble your sliders by placing a generous spoonful of the turkey sloppy joe mixture between two baked sweet potato rounds. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
