Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the sweet potato mixture.
  • Top with shredded cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy crust.
  • This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated.
