INGREDIENTS

1 medium sweet potato

4 oz ground turkey

0.5 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 tsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp fresh chives

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tbsp hemp seeds

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Scrub the sweet potato thoroughly and pierce the skin several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

• 3

  Place the potato on the baking sheet and roast for 45 to 50 minutes until the center is soft and the skin is slightly caramelized.

• 4

  While the potato is roasting, heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Add the ground turkey to the skillet and season with the garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 6

  Cook the turkey while breaking it into small crumbles until it is fully browned and no longer pink.

• 7

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with the lemon juice and whisk vigorously until smooth and light.

• 8

  Once the sweet potato is finished roasting, slice it open lengthwise and fluff the flesh with a fork.

• 9

  Spoon the seasoned ground turkey into the sweet potato and top with a generous dollop of the whipped ricotta.

• 10

  Garnish the dish with freshly chopped chives and a sprinkle of hemp seeds for added texture.
