Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the vegetables.
On a baking sheet, toss the chopped carrots and parsnips with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, finely dice the onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the diced onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it is browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato sauce and smoked paprika. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
Once the vegetables are roasted and the sloppy joe mixture is ready, serve the turkey mixture over a bed of the roasted root vegetables.
Enjoy this hearty, comforting dish as a balanced meal that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
