Ingredients
2 medium Sweet potatoes
8 oz Ground turkey
1 cup Broccoli florets
1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Tomato sauce
1 tbsp Brown sugar
Instructions
- 1
Scrub 2 medium sweet potatoes under water and prick them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- 2
Place the sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are soft when squeezed.
- 3
While the potatoes cook, place 8 oz ground turkey (repurposed from Day 5) into a small skillet over medium heat.
- 4
Add 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the skillet with the turkey.
- 5
Stir the turkey mixture frequently for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the meat is thoroughly heated through.
- 6
Place 1 cup broccoli florets (repurposed from Day 5) in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon of water; cover and microwave for 90 seconds until hot.
- 7
Carefully slice the cooked sweet potatoes open lengthwise and fluff the orange flesh with a fork.
- 8
Divide the Sloppy Joe turkey mixture evenly between the two potatoes, pouring it directly into the center.
- 9
Top each potato with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and the warmed broccoli florets while the steam from the potato melts the cheese.
- 10
Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and the cheese is gooey.
