Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion for 3–4 minutes until soft.

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned and crumbly.

Stir in minced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, diced sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, and pepper, sautéing for another 3–5 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil, sprinkle cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted.

Let cool slightly, garnish with parsley or cilantro, and serve hot.
