🥔 Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced with a fork

For the filling
- 1 lb ground turkey or beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- ½ tsp smoked paprika (AIP: replace with ¼ tsp ground turmeric or ½ tsp dried basil)
- 1 cup finely chopped spinach or kale
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos

👩🍳 Instructions
- Roast the sweet potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub sweet potatoes lightly with olive oil and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until tender. - Prepare the filling:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant.
Add ground turkey or beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with sea salt, and (if not AIP) black pepper and smoked paprika. - Add the greens:
Stir in chopped spinach or kale and cook until wilted. Add coconut aminos and mix well. - Assemble:
Slice baked sweet potatoes lengthwise and fluff the insides slightly with a fork. Spoon the savory filling into each potato. - Finish:
Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, a drizzle of melted ghee for extra richness (AIP: ensure ghee is well tolerated or replace with coconut oil).
