Meat and Sweet Potato Paleo Recipe

Sunday is my prep day for the week and this is a recipe I got from one of my Paleo friends. I've had several friends and family members ask for the recipe so here it is! It is VERY easy and so delicious.

I make enough for 2 people that should last around 5-6 days. This recipe is easy, but can be time consuming so allow at least 2 hours to cook. Just think, after you are done you have lunch and dinner for the next week!

Ingredients:
2 pounds of lean ground turkey
2 pounds of chicken breast
2 pounds of bacon - NOT turkey bacon
5 pound bag of sweet potatoes - I use all but 3-4 potatoes
Grapeseed Oil
Salt and Pepper


You can make this recipe in one large pan or you can cook the bacon in a pan like the picture below. I like doing it this way because it tends to cook faster! Whatever you do, DO NOT toss the bacon grease.
 
Once your 2 pounds of bacon is fully cooked, put on a paper plate with paper towels to get rid of extra grease. Then crumple bacon into a large dish and set aside.
 
Scoop about 1/2 cup of bacon grease into your sauce pan to cook your lean ground turkey. You will cook all 2 pounds of your lean ground turkey; add salt and pepper to taste. Then place cooked turkey in a large bowl or dish and set aside with the bacon.
 
Next put your chicken breasts into your large stove top pan; add salt and pepper. You can shred or dice the chicken. If you need to add more bacon grease, do so to keep the chicken tender and full of flavor. Once the chicken is cooked and either shredded or diced, place in the large dish set aside with the cooked bacon and cooked ground turkey.

 Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Cover a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Dice sweet potatoes and add to pan with salt and pepper and about 2 tablespoons of Grapeseed oil. Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes. You will need to make two batches.

Once your sweet potatoes are cooked, place in dish with all the cooked meats. See finished product below.
 
I portion 1 cup per serving. Place in air tight containers and store in the fridge, you can heat in the microwave throughout the week.
By the end of the week if you find yourself needing a change, you can add 2 tablespoons of salsa!
