Preparation time 10 minutes

Total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  1. 45 mL (3 tbsp.) olive oil
  2. 175 mL (3/4 cup) chili sauce
  3. 30 mL (2 tbsp.) brown sugar
  4. 30 mL (2 tbsp.) lime juice
  5. 15 mL (1 tbsp.) Cajun seasoning
  6. 15 mL (1 tbsp.) ground cumin
  7. To taste, tabasco sauce
  8. 1 half-breast of turkey, boneless, skinless, about 600 g (1¼ lb.), cut in 2.5 cm (1 in.) cubes
  9. 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) cubes
  10. 2 zucchini, cut in 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) thick slices
  11. 1 sweet yellow pepper, cubed
  12. To taste, salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large freezer bag, combine 30 mL (2 tbsp.) of oil, the chili sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, Cajun seasoning, cumin, and Tabasco sauce. Add the turkey cubes and sweet potatoes. Seal bag tightly and shake so that all ingredients are well coated.
  3. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the turkey and sweet potato mixture on the baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until turkey cubes are cooked (internal temperature of 77°C or 170°F) and the potatoes tender.
  4. In a medium-size bowl, combine remaining oil with the zucchini and sweet pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add vegetables to the turkey cubes and sweet potatoes and continue cooking about 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Chef's secret: You can prepare the marinade and marinate the turkey and potatoes a day ahead. Then just prepare the vegetables the next day and everything will be ready in less than 45 minutes!
