Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 sweet potatoes medium
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion small, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

1. Prepare the Crust:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork, then bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
  2. While the potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add ground turkey and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
  5. Slice open the baked sweet potatoes and fluff their insides with a fork. Stuff each potato with the turkey mixture.
  6. Top with feta cheese and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
