Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 lb (450g) ground turkey

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1/2 cup diced red bell pepper

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for serving)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork a few times. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until soft.

      Cook the Turkey Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, add some cooking oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

        Add the Garlic and Turkey: Stir in the minced garlic, then add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

          Season the Mixture: Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the turkey mixture. Stir in the black beans and corn, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

            Assemble the Dish: Once the sweet potatoes are done, cut them open lengthwise and slightly fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon the turkey mixture generously into each sweet potato.

              Serve: Top each stuffed sweet potato with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and serve lime wedges on the side.
