Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized on the outside.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add your ground turkey. Cook it for about 7-10 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until it turns golden brown and is fully cooked through. Season with your favorite spices.
- Once the ground turkey is cooked, drain and rinse the black beans, then stir them into the skillet with the turkey. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Once the sweet potatoes are finished baking, let them cool slightly. Carefully slice each sweet potato lengthwise down the center, fluff the insides with a fork, and fill each boat with the turkey and black bean mixture.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese over the filled sweet potatoes and place them back into the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and serve each boat with your choice of toppings, such as avocado, sour cream, or green onions.
