Ingredients

1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1cm/1/2 in cubes
2 tsp olive oil
1 small shallot, or small piece of onion, finely chopped
115g (4oz) minced turkey
2 handfuls of baby spinach leaves, washed but not dried
 

Method

Put the sweet potato in a steamer and steam for about 6 minutes, until tender. Remove from steamer and reserve steaming water.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, add the chopped shallot and turkey and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the turkey is browned and all the grains are separate. Add the spinach and sauté for a further 2-3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Add the cooked potato and 4 tbsp of the steaming water. Cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Put the contents of the pan in a blender and blend until smooth. Thin with a little of the steaming water, if necessary. Cool quickly then chill.

Freeze in individual portions and defrost overnight in the fridge. Heat in a saucepan or microwave until piping hot then allow to cool slightly and check temperature before serving.
