Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place sweet potatoes on an aluminum foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
- For the crispy chickpeas, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add chickpeas, avocado oil, and salt, and mix to coat completely. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes, until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and toss with the rest of the spices while chickpeas are still warm.
- Meanwhile, make the veggie filling. Add cut cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Mix to combine.
- To make the Lemon Herb Tahini, add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend until well-combined and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste. (Dressing will make extra - store in an air-tight container in the fridge, and thin with additional warm water & lemon juice if needed (dressing will thicken as it cools in the fridge)
- Cook ground turkey by adding to a skillet over medium heat with 2 tbsp olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Break into pieces with a spatula, and cook through until no pink remains.
- When sweet potatoes are finished, slice open and mash slightly with a fork. Top with ground turkey, vegetable filling, crispy chickpeas, and a drizzle of tahini dressing. Enjoy!
