Sweet Potato Mushroom Ground Turkey

This Sweet Potato Mushroom Ground Turkey mixture is perfect for tacos, enchiladas, or our favorite family dish: Sweet Potato Mushroom Ground Turkey Bowls.

Friends, are you new to hosting? Do you feel a tug in your heart to have more people into your home to share a meal? Or just hang out?

Our friends came from out of town last weekend, and I made one of our family-favorites, Sweet Potato Mushroom Ground Turkey Bowls.

We actually had 3 sets of friends coming through in 4 days, and my mind went to why I love to host. It’s basically serving. You are preparing your home, planning meals, and serving others!

I believe one important point in serving is to first learn.

For me, learning to serve is to see people not through my eyes, but through my Maker’s eyes. To learn who they are, and to lean in to what’s happening in their lives right now, their concerns, pains and joy.

When company’s coming, I honestly wake up on those days ready to serve, love, and put others before myself.

As I give, I find that I gain so much more.

Because we have a choice to receive, just as much as a choice to give.

What have I received? I have received a whole new perspective on generosity.

We learn and experience something new with every person who sets foot into our home. (Hello, Alder-Bear!)

And taking it a step further, we can take this same generosity with us when we travel.

Generosity knows no bounds; so our arms are open wherever we go.

It doesn’t have to just happen in our homes!

Sweet Potato Mushroom Ground Turkey

Today’s recipe, Sweet Potato Mushroom Ground Turkey, is just for the meat mixture; easy for company to enjoy tacos, enchiladas, or bowls (our favorite).

Because we hosted several meals, I tripled the recipe, so I could serve it for several meals. How smart is that? (wink-wink).

A newbie hosting tip: Double or triple a recipe that is good enough for leftovers; reheat and serve the same meal for new guests. They’ll never know you ate it the night before, and look at the amount of time that you can save.

Casual, tasty, and easy!

Less time in your kitchen, more time with your guests!

Enjoy!
