Turkey & Spinach Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Roasted sweet potatoes split and piled high with cumin-spiced ground turkey, wilted spinach, and a dollop of yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta for topping
  • plain Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the oven rack for 45-50 minutes, until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft, about 4 minutes.
  3. Add ground turkey, garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Split baked sweet potatoes open, fluff the flesh with a fork, and top with turkey filling, feta, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
