Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. Stir in the rinsed black beans, heating through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, carefully slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out a little of the flesh.
  6. Fill each sweet potato half with the turkey and black bean mixture. Top generously with shredded cheese.
  7. Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for another 10 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving hot. Add your favorite toppings.
