For the Ground Turkey:

1 lb lean ground turkey (or chicken)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Sautéed Mushrooms:

1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp butter or olive oil

For the Mashed Sweet Potatoes:

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

Instructions:
Prepare the Mashed Sweet Potatoes:
In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potato and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Stir in the ground turkey, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Sauté the Mushrooms:
In another skillet, melt the butter (or heat olive oil) over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Assemble the Bowls:
In serving bowls, start with a generous scoop of mashed sweet potatoes. Top with the savory ground turkey and sautéed mushrooms.
