# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 230°C. Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy, turning halfway through.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey breast and sear without stirring until golden brown on one side. Add diced red onion and crumble the turkey while cooking for 5-6 minutes until fully cooked and no pink remains.
03 -
Combine lemon juice, honey, harissa paste, and Mediterranean spices. Stir into cooked turkey and onion mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant and evenly coated.
04 -
Microwave frozen basmati rice and riced cauliflower according to package instructions. Mix together in a bowl, then gently fold in chopped fresh dill and optional lemon juice.
05 -
In a blender or food processor, combine crumbled reduced-fat feta, nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Blend until smooth and well combined.
06 -
Divide roasted sweet potatoes, Mediterranean ground turkey, and rice blend among serving bowls. Drizzle with blended feta sauce and serve immediately.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For meal prep, store sweet potatoes separately to retain crispiness; the turkey and rice blend can be refrigerated or frozen together and reheated without the sauce.
