Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • teaspoons salt
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
  • 6 ounces about 1 ½ cups cooked & chopped turkey or chicken breast
  • 1 ounce soft goat cheese chevre, crumbled
  • 1 ounce pecans chopped
  • ¼ cup homemade cranberry sauce I used this one
  • 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  • Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Cook in the microwave on HIGH until tender when pierced with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let the potatoes rest until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop the flesh out of the potatoes and place in a medium-sized bowl. Reserve the skins.
  • With the back of a fork, mash the potato flesh until most lumps are gone. Stir in 2 teaspoons olive oil and salt.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the green onions and sage, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir half of the green onion mixture into the sweet potatoes.
  • Divide the mashed sweet potato evenly between the potato skins. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet with the remaining cooked green onions. Stir in the turkey (or chicken) and cook until just heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Spoon the turkey mixture into each sweet potato skin. Divide the crumbled goat cheese, pecans and cranberry sauce between potatoes.
  • Broil until the cheese is starts to melt, about 1 minute. Garnish with parsley. Serve.
