Ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes (8 ounces each, scrubbed clean)

1 teaspoon avocado oil

1 poblano pepper (seeded and diced)

1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and diced)

½ yellow onion (diced)

1 pound 93% ground turkey

3 cloves garlic (chopped)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 ½ teaspoons cumin

½ cup black beans (rinsed and drained)

½ cup frozen roasted corn

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (plus more for garnish)

3/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Greek yogurt (for serving)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and pierce each potato a few times with a fork. Transfer the sweet potatoes to the oven to roast for 45-60 minutes, until very tender and easily pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

In the meantime, prepare the filling. Heat the avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the poblano, jalapeño, and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened slightly, 5-7 minutes.

Add the turkey and garlic to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break the turkey up into small pieces. Season with the salt and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through, about 7 minutes.

Add the black beans and corn, stir to combine and heat through. Remove from heat and add the cilantro, stir to incorporate.

When the sweet potatoes are slightly cooled, cut them lengthwise and spread the potatoes open to make space for the filling. Use a measuring cup to stuff them and slightly compact the filling in. Top with cheese and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 2-3 minutes.

Top with greek yogurt and chopped cilantro.
