Makes 4 Servings

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Spread out the sweet potato, onion, and radishes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil and drizzle it over the vegetables. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and the paprika.
  3. Roast for 25 minutes, turning the potatoes over once half-way through the roasting. 
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining  coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, remaining salt and pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Stir in the kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. 
  5. Divide up the turkey evenly among 4 bowls. Top with equal amounts of roasted sweet potatoes and onions, zucchini, and kale. 
  6. To make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Drizzle the dressing over the bowl ingredients and serve.
