Twice-Baked Sweet Potato with Turkey Bacon and Sharp Cheddar
Savor a comforting, protein-packed twice-baked sweet potato loaded with crispy turkey bacon, sharp cheddar, and a creamy touch of low-fat cottage cheese. The sweet potato’s natural sweetness pairs harmoniously with savory bacon and melted cheese for a delightful meal that's as pleasing to the palate as it is balanced nutritionally.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Sweet Potato (114g)
4 slices Turkey Bacon (80g total)
1/4 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (28g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (110g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and pierce it several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for about 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
Remove the sweet potato from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice it in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a small border for structure.
Place the scooped sweet potato flesh in a bowl and mash lightly. Stir in crumbled cooked turkey bacon (from 4 slices), shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and low-fat cottage cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins, mounding it slightly on top.
Return the filled sweet potato halves to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
