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 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • ½ cup canned corn (drained)
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) (optional)
  • Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45–50 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté diced onion for about 3–4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in ground turkey and cook until browned. Season with smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes to the skillet; let simmer for about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Slice baked sweet potatoes lengthwise, mash the flesh slightly to create space for filling, and spoon in the turkey mixture.
  6. Top with cheese if desired; return to the oven for another 5 minutes until melted. Garnish with cilantro and serve warm.
