Baked Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
4 medium sweet potatoes
1/4 cup ground turkey or pork sausage
3 tablespoons chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped bell pepper
1 small garlic clove minced
1 tablespoon softened butter
1 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon each cayenne, salt
1 tablespoon milk
Bake sweet potatoes at 450 degrees until soft.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium- high heat, cook sausage, onion,
bell pepper, rosemary and garlic. Drain and discard excess grease.
Set meat aside.
Once sweet potatoes are cooked and have cooled slightly, cut each
one in half lengthwise and scoop out potato leaving the shell
intact.
In a large bowl, mash the sweet potato with butter, cayenne, salt
and milk. Add a bit more milk or butter if the potato is too thick
for your liking. Add sausage mixture to the potato and combine
thoroughly.
Fill sweet potato shells with potato mixture and place under broiler
and broil until lightly browned. |
