Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potato
- 1/2 tsp avocado oil
- 6 oz tomato paste
Cheese Sauce
- 2 pcs egg
- 2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- a pinch salt
- a pinch black pepper
Meat Mixture
- 2 lb ground turkey
- 1 pcs yellow onion
- 4 pcs tomato
- 3 pcs garlic clove
- 2 1/2 cup mushroom
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F (428°F).
- 2Slice the sweet potatoes into thin ¼‑inch circles.
- 3Prepare the cheese sauce: blend the eggs, cottage cheese, ½ cup grated parmesan, ¼ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- 4Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of avocado oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, then stir in the meat seasonings (2 tsp paprika, ¼ tsp chili powder, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper).
- 5Add the chopped tomatoes and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, mashing the tomatoes slightly to create a sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
- 6Add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
- 7Grease a 9×13‑inch glass baking dish with avocado oil. Layer the sweet‑potato slices, a portion of the cheese sauce, and a layer of the meat mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining cheese sauce, meat mixture, and the remaining ½ cup grated parmesan on top.
- 8Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 40–45 minutes.
- 9Remove the foil and broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
