Really easy and really tasty. I used turkey ham and no butter or anything. Really good way to get a healthy meal in myself (I had it for dinner) with a minimum of fuss. Thanks!

What a great meal! A few things I changed were using turkey lunch meat instead of ham. Also, I put the onions and turkey on the side, that way I could use what I did not eat of the sweet potato and have it as dessert with splenda and cinnimon! YUMM~!! I'll will be using this dish very often~
