Description: A hearty and nutritious dinner recipe packed with protein and fiber, combining the flavors of turkey mince, chickpeas, onions, sweet potatoes, and lentils.

Ingredients:

  • 500g turkey mince
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed and drained

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are translucent.
  3. Add the turkey mince, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until it is no longer pink.
  4. Add the chopped sweet potatoes, chickpeas, lentils, and enough water to cover all the ingredients.

Tips:

  • You can also make this recipe in a slow cooker. Brown the turkey and onions in a pan, then transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • For a thicker stew, mash some of the sweet potatoes against the side of the pot before serving.
