I am on a sweet potato roll, YOU GUYS! I love the benefits of sweet potatoes, but have struggled eating them because I don't really like them, hahaha! I have been on a MISSION to find recipes that I love and it's been pretty stinkin' awesome! Turns out there is a lot of info out in the interwebs :P
Super Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
3 Sweet Potatoes, cut in half
1 lb. Ground Turkey
2 c. Yellow & Orange Peppers, chopped finely
2 tbsp. Mrs. Dash Chipotle Seasoning
1 tbsp. Mrs. Dash Garlic Seasoning
1/3 c. Shredded Cheddar
1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Place Sweet Potatoes on baking sheet FACE DOWN and bake for 25 minutes.
While the Sweet Potatoes cook, heat a skillet with 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil on Medium Heat; cook Peppers with Garlic and Chipotle. Add Ground Turkey and cook until no longer pink. (tip: if you have kids, just reserve some of this in a separate pan BEFORE you add the Chipotle. Mine don't do spicy!)
When the Sweet Potatoes are done, pull them out and scoop the inside of each half with a spoon. If it doesn't EASILY scoop out, put it back in the oven for a few minutes until it does. Add the Sweet Potato 'insides' to your skillet with ALL the other stuff and mix it well.
Stuff those Sweet Potato skins with the filling, top with your Shredded Cheese and throw those bad boys in the oven on 'Broil' setting for 5 minutes.
ENJOY!
[ the verdict: Emmy tore it up, Ethan wouldn't touch it, and Stevie (after complaining) tried it and said "that's not bad, mom." My husband LOVED them and I was totally impressed with myself :P]
