Zesty Turkey-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
An absolute win with the whole family - even my fussy toddler eats up her entire serving. Don't be intimidated by the hot stuff, it provides flavour and isn't a spicy dish.

Calories: 496kcal
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 225 g cooked turkey Tip: buy a standard 450g package, cook all of it and store half in the freezer for convenience in preparing a future meal!
- 1/2 sweet onion
- 1/4 cup brown palm coconut sugar
- 1 cup white beans cooked
- 1/4 cup carrots
- 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp chili lime hot sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded light mixed cheddar/mozza blend
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash sweet potatoes and wrap in tin foil. Cook in oven for 30 mins, then remove, unwrap carefully (it's hot!), slice in half length-wise, rewrap in the tin foil, and return to oven for another 15-30 mins, or until soft and cooked through.
- If turkey is not precooked, use 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan to brown. Add in sweet onion after 10 minutes and simmer until brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Meanwhile, in a small frying pan, use 1 tbsp olive oil to cook beans and carrots until soft, aprx. 5 minutes. Combine with Buffalo sauce, vinegar, and chili lime sauce and blend until smooth in a food processor or blender.
- Pour blended sauce over cooked turkey and mixed well.
- Use a large spoon to carefully hollow out the sweet potato halves, and add the removed sweet potato pieces to the turkey mixture.
- Stir mixture together and then gently transfer by spoonful to back to the sweet potato skins. It's okay to have them overloaded.
- Top with grated cheese and parsley and return to the oven to melt the cheese, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
