Notes, Ideas, Suggestions:
If you are using this as a meal prep for the week, follow all directions the same and portion out the sweet potatoes, broccoli & sloppy joe mix to your glass meal prep bowls to your desired portions.
You could use ground beef or even shredded chicken on place of ground turkey.
Adding in some bell peppers to the sloppy joe mix would be great too for some added veggies.
Doubling the sauce would be great if you’d like a little extra sauce for your bowls.
