Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In large microwave-safe bowl, combine sweet potato and 1/8 cup water. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high until tender. When cool enough to handle, discard peels.

In large bowl, mash potato with freshly ground black pepper. Meanwhile, in a skillet, spray with unflavored nonstick cooking spray and cook onion on medium-high until browned, stirring occasionally. Add collard greens and freshly ground black pepper.

Cook 1 minute or until just wilted, stirring. Transfer to medium bowl. In same skillet, spray unflavored nonstick cooking spray.

Add garlic and cook 15 seconds. Add turkey.

Cook 3 minutes or until browned, breaking meat into small pieces and stirring. Reduce heat to medium and add Cajun seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.

Cook 1 minute, stirring. Add tomato.

Cook 2 minutes, stirring. In shallow baking dish, spread half of mashed sweet potato. Top with turkey mixture, then collard greens mixture. Spread remaining sweet potato mixture on top.

Bake 30 minutes or until golden on top. Garnish with parsley.
