Ingredients
- 4 small sweet potatoes
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 small onion minced
- ½ cup minced celery
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 4 ounces mushrooms diced
- ¾ cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon thyme freshly chopped leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wash the sweet potatoes and pat them to dry, then piece all over using a fork. Bake them for about 50 to 55 minutes until fork tender.
- Cook the ground turkey with a teaspoon of salt in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat for about 5 minutes (break up the meat while cooking).
- Lower the heat, push the ground turkey to the side and add the oil, onion, celery, garlic, and tomato paste. Let them cook for about 5 minutes before mixing.
- Add the peas, carrots, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and mix well to combine.
- Mix the beef broth with flour in a small bowl before adding to the pan. Cover the pan and let it simmer on low for about 5 minutes until it reduces and the flavors blend together.
- Once the potatoes are done cooking, slice them open and fill them with enough turkey mixture. Enjoy while hot!
