Customizations & Additions to Healthy Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Dinner…

Here are some delicious customizations, additions, and swap ideas!

• Switch up the protein! Use ground beef, chicken, or sausage in place of the ground turkey.
• Add different veggies! I think broccoli and bell pepper would both be tasty additions or replacements of the zucchini in this healthy dinner recipe.
• Cheese, cheese, & more cheese! I love parmesan cheese in this recipe, but you could choose whichever cheese you’d like. And more of it of course!
• Spice it up! I kept the seasonings in this very simple because I wanted the dish to to be simple, but feel free to spice it up. Add more seasonings, spices, or even the fresh herbs of your choice!
