Very good! Nutritious and delicious. I took a slight detour and instead of eating the ground turkey/sweet potato mixture IN lettuce, I ate it ON shredded leaf lettuce (topped with avocado, of course!) with the sriracha mayo drizzled over the salad. I often cook ground turkey and either keep it in the refrigerator to use for quick meals or portion it out and freeze it. Then putting together a meal like this is even easier!
