Inspired by The Whole Cook


Ingredients:

  • 1 lb/450 grams ground turkey or ground beef 

  • 1 sweet potato, small or medium ~300 grams

  • 5 stalks asparagus

  • 9 eggs

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp pepper

  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp dried basil

  

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Grease/spray a 9 x 9 or 8 x 8 baking dish

  3. Brown and crumble your ground turkey in a skillet on medium high heat.

  4. After it's browned, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon dried basil. Stir. Remove from heat and set aside.

  5. Peel sweet potato. Slice it into thirds and then into thin pieces (approximately 1/4 inch in thickness). They need to be thin so they'll get tender quickly in the oven. Lay them in a single layer in your greased baking dish.

  6. Add browned turkey in a single layer on top of the sweet potato slices.

  7. Trim bottom of asparagus and discard. Cut remaining asparagus in half and lay in a single layer on top of your turkey.

  8. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.

  9. Pour your egg mixture over your asparagus.

  10. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes. Center should not be wiggly when finished. 

  11. Let sit for 5 minutes. Slice and serve as is.
