INGREDIENTS

1 medium Sweet Potato

4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey

1 ounce Cheddar Cheese

1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (Low Sodium)

1 small Onion

2 cloves Garlic

1 teaspoon Chili Powder

1 teaspoon Ground Cumin

Salt & Pepper to taste

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F.

• 2

  Wash the sweet potato thoroughly, pierce it with a fork a few times, and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until tender.

• 3

  While the sweet potato is baking, finely chop the small onion and mince the garlic cloves.

• 4

  In a non-stick pan over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

• 5

  Add the lean ground turkey to the pan and cook until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

• 6

  Stir in the diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld.

• 7

  Once the sweet potato is tender, remove it from the oven and carefully slice it open lengthwise, fluffing the inside with a fork.

• 8

  Spoon a generous amount of the turkey chili mixture into the sweet potato.

• 9

  Top with the shredded or sliced cheddar cheese, and if desired, return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-rich meal.
