Notes

For an added flavor boost, consider using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. You can also substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef if preferred. Ensure that sweet potatoes are cut into small, even pieces to guarantee they cook thoroughly and evenly. If you want extra creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top when serving.
