Directions Paleo Turkey Sweet Potato Casserole With Eggplant and Tomato
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, onion, and garlic, cook and stir until turkey is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add sweet potatoes, cook and stir until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Combine eggplant, 1/2 teaspoon tarragon flakes, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cardamom in a bowl, toss until eggplant is coated.
Layer coated eggplant on the bottom of the prepared pan, top with turkey mixture.
Bake casserole in the preheated oven until sweet potatoes are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
Heat a saucepan over high heat. Add olive oil, almond flour, and coconut flour, cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-high. Whisk in almond milk slowly until combined. Cook, continuing to whisk, until sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
Remove casserole from the oven, cover with sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the casserole has browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Top with remaining 1/2 teaspoon tarragon. Slice into 6 pieces with a sharp knife.
