Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Peel and cube your sweet potatoes, then toss them in a bowl with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Stir in your choice of ground beef, turkey, or chicken, cooking for 7-10 minutes until browned.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, ketchup, dill pickle relish, and a splash of pickle juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
