Loaded Sweet Potatoes With Ground Turkey Mushrooms And Spinach Recipes

LOADED SWEET POTATOES WITH GROUND TURKEY, MUSHROOMS AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Place on a sheet pan and bake until soft and easily pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes.
• While the potatoes roast, make the filling: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, then add the mushrooms in a flat layer. Bump the heat up to medium high and cook the mushrooms, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Stir and let cook, undisturbed, for 5 more minutes.
• Repeat until softened and golden brown, about 12 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until cooked through and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes; season with more salt and pepper.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk, Dijon, sage and rosemary. Stir together then simmer until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
• At 5 minutes before you're ready to serve, add the broccoli and cook until bright green and tender-crisp. If the mixture looks too thick, stir in up to 1/2 cup water to thin it out. During the final 2 minutes of cooking, add the spinach and let wilt.
• For each serving, halve a sweet potato lengthwise and fluff up the potato with a fork, leaving the skin intact. Season with salt and pepper then stuff with the turkey filling.
