  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and poke holes in the sweet potatoes, then place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Sauté the chopped onions until softened, then add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
  5. Add the ground turkey and spices to the skillet, breaking up the meat as it browns. Cook until no longer pink.
  6. Remove from heat and mix in fresh herbs.
  7. Once the sweet potatoes are ready, slice them open and fluff the insides.
  8. Spoon the turkey mixture into each sweet potato, packing it in to your liking.
  9. Optionally, return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes for a golden top.

Notes

Ensure sweet potatoes are tender for easy scooping. Fresh herbs enhance the flavor.
