Equipment

1 Rimmed Baking Sheet
1 frying pan

Ingredients

4 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup pico de gallo
1 cup guacamole
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup crumbled queso fresco
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pat them dry. Puncture each potato with a fork several times. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and baked for 35 to 45 minutes. Potatoes should be fork tender.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and once hot, add the ground turkey. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until browned and sprinkle on the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute or two until cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Cut open the sweet potatoes and place each one on a bowl or plate. Using a fork, press the sweet potato flat. Add an equal amount of turkey, pico, guacamole, sour cream, and quest fresco to each bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.
