Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and bake for 45–50 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. While sweet potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic; sauté for another 30 seconds. Stir in ground turkey and cook until browned with seasonings (smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper).
  4. Mix in black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes; simmer for 5–7 minutes.
  5. Slice baked sweet potatoes lengthwise and mash the flesh slightly to create space. Fill each half with the turkey mixture and top with shredded cheese.
  6. Bake again for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
