Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
  • 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 4 ounce can diced green chilies

Optional toppings

  • cilantro, chopped
  • onion, diced
  • avocado, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and into the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until fork tender.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the turkey chili.
  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat.
  • Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet, crumble and cook through, this should take about 8-10 minutes.
  • Once the turkey is cooked through, add the salt, pepper, paprika, cumin and chipotle chili powder to the skillet, stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and green chilies, and stir to combine all of the ingredients.
  • Cover the skillet, reduce the heat on the stove to low and simmer until the sweet potatoes are done roasting, at least 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, slice them in half and gently smash the insides with a fork.
  • Spoon the chili into each half and add the toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • The nutritional information provided does not include the optional toppings.
  • To make this recipe vegan, simply substitute in soy chorizo, or meatless crumbles for the ground turkey. You could also use black beans, instead of ground turkey, for a different texture and flavor.
  • The chipotle chili can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. So feel free to make it ahead of time if you want to meal prep this stuffed sweet potato recipe and simply heat the chili up on the stove or in the microwave before stuffing the sweet potatoes.
