Quinoa Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Quinoa Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 2 cups cooked quinoa (mixed red and white)
• 1 TBSP olive oil
• 1/2 lb lean ground turkey
• 1 Vidalia onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 1/2 cup corn kernels
• 1 plum tomato, diced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup shredded or crumbled cheese (I used goat cheese)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until they are soft enough to pierce with a fork. Cut in half and scoop out about half of the pulp.
2. Steam broccoli for 1-2 minutes in the microwave and set aside.
3. While potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Saute the ground turkey, onions and garlic for 7-8 minutes or until meat is browned and onions are translucent. Remove from heat and add broccoli, tomatoes, corn, scooped potato pulp and cheese. Stir to combine.
4. Fill the potato shells with filling and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
