20 Minute Meal! Turkey Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I tasked my hubby with this Pinterest recipe last week and he knocked it out of the park (so you know it’s easy). Original idea is from @cookincanuck!
YOU’LL NEED:
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 pound lean (93%) ground turkey
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup grated pepper Jack cheese
2 tablespoons parsley to garnish
HOW TO:
1 Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Cook in the microwave on HIGH until tender when pierced with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let the potatoes rest until cool enough to handle.
2. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop the flesh out of the potatoes and place in a medium-sized bowl and keep the skins!!
3. With the back of a fork, mash the potato flesh until most lumps are gone. Stir in the olive oil, ½ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Divide the mashed sweet potato evenly between the potato skins. Place on a baking sheet.
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, remaining ¾ teaspoon cumin, oregano, paprika, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes.
5. Preheat the broiler. Spoon the turkey mixture into each sweet potato skin. Top each with 1 tablespoon grated cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 30 seconds. Garnish with parsley and serve!
This makes enough for 2. So delicious, satisfying and healthy.
