Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and cut into ¼-inch slices)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 ½-2 pounds lean ground turkey or beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 (35 ounce) jar tomato pasta sauce
  • 4 cups spinach (stems trimmed off)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Place potatoes in a microwave safe bowl with about ¼ cup water and cover with a tea towel or wet paper towel. Cook potato slices for 2 minutes and allow to cool. 
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12" heatproof skillet; add onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add meat and cook until fully browned. 
  • Pour the sauce into the skillet with the meat as well as the spinach. Carefully fold together until the spinach has wilted. Add salt and pepper to mixture as needed. 
  • Using a large spoon or ladle. scoop out half of the meat mixture into a separate bowl. Drop half of the ricotta into small dollops over the entire skillet, then sprinkle half the mozzarella over the top.
  • Arrange the sweet potato slices on top of the meat and cheese layers. Pour the remaining meat mixture over the sweet potatoes and then the remaining ricotta and mozzarella. 
  • Place the skillet in the oven, uncovered and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is brown and bubbling. Let it cool for 10 minutes so that it can set before serving. Enjoy!
