  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 40-50 minutes until tender.

  3. Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned (6-8 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in spices: cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Add corn and optional diced tomatoes; cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
  6. Once sweet potatoes are ready, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon in the turkey mixture.
  7. If desired, top with cheddar cheese and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until melted.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
