Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Rub the sweet potatoes with a little oil and salt and place them onto a baking tray. Roast for 60 minutes until tender. Alternatively, you can cook your sweet potatoes in a microwave for 10-15 minutes on full power until tender. You may need to do them one at a time and please make sure to pierce them with a fork all over before cooking.

Step 2

Heat the remaining oil in a large pan over a medium heat, then tip in the turkey mince and break it up using a wooden spoon. Stir in the garlic and chilli (you might want to leave this out if cooking for small kiddies), and cook for 10 mins until the mince is cooked through. Add the herbs and spices, and cook for a minute more.

Step 3

Pour in the passata, the reserved liquid from the beans, the diced pepper, crumble in the stock cube and season with a little salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 15-20 mins until slightly thickened. Tip in the beans and cook for 3-5 mins more.

Step 4

Mash the avocados in a small bowl and squeeze in the juice of the lime. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

To serve, halve the potatoes and spoon the chilli, then finish with the mashed avocado and a spoonful of sour cream if you wish.
