Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Yield: 4 servings
Course: Dinner
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 4 small sweet potatoes (7 ounces each)
  • 1 pound 93% ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (minced)
  • 1/2 cup minced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 oz mushrooms (diced)
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon flour (or GF flour mix)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (check labels for GF)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Wash and dry sweet potatoes and pierce them all over with a fork. Bake sweet potatoes 50 to 55 minutes, until soft.
  • Heat a large deep nonstick skillet over high heat and brown the ground turkey, seasoning with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon as it cooks about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium low, push the meat to the side and add the oil, onion, celery garlic, and tomato paste. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes then mix.
  • Add the frozen vegetables, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme and mix well.
  • Whisk together the broth and flour in a small bowl and pour over meat. Simmer, covered on low about 5 minutes, until it thickens and the flavors meld.
  • When the potatoes are ready, cut them open and top each with a scant cup of the turkey mixture. Eat hot.
