STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Ingredients:

• 6 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 T coconut oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 jar organic enchilada sauce
• 2 tomatoes, diced (optional)
• 2 avocados, sliced (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400. Scrub your sweet potatoes and pierce the skin a few times with a fork. Lightly rub each sweet potato with olive oil. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until they’re easily pierced with a fork.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the ground turkey to the pan and sauté until cooked through.
• Add the garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, stir.
• Add the enchilada sauce and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven once they’re cooked through, cut open in the middle and stuff with the filling.
• Top with diced tomatoes and avocado if desired.
