Ingredients

  • 200g lean turkey mince
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1 standard tin of tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 generous handfuls baby spinach (about 100g)

Method

  1. Cut the sweet potato into even chunks and boil in lightly salted water until tender, then drain if needed.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the lean turkey mince in a non-stick pan over medium heat, stirring, until browned and hot through. Add tomatoes, onion, baby spinach and garlic and cook until tender.
  3. Slice the cooked sweet potato. Stir paprika into the pan. Tip the filling into an ovenproof dish and arrange the potato evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbling and golden on top.

Making it ahead
