Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cook the sweet potatoes: pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork all over several times. Place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; bake until soft and fork tender, about 45 minutes. (Or pierce with fork and cook in the microwave until soft & tender. I like to wrap mine in a paper towel. Cook time will vary based on size of the sweet potato but you can start with 10 minutes.)
- Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add in the onions, bell peppers and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, ~5 minutes. Stir in the red pepper chili flakes, cumin, garlic powder, oregano and salt.
- Add the ground turkey; cook, stirring and breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, ~3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Slice the baked sweet potatoes lengthwise just until open. Fill with the turkey mixture. Top with cheese & avocado.
- Alternatively, you can scoop the sweet potato out into a bowl and build bowls instead of eating from the sweet potato itself. Enjoy!

Notes
- INSTANT POT SWEET POTATO DIRECTIONS: Place trivet down in the Instant Pot. Pour in 1 cup water and place the sweet potatoes on the trivet. Secure the lid and set to sealing. Cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes for a small/medium sized sweet potato. If your sweet potatoes are large I would cook it from 18-20 minutes on high pressure. Once done, let the pressure naturally release for another 10-15 minutes. Switch the valve to venting to release any extra pressure (there shouldn’t be any though after the natural release). Carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the Instant Pot and serve with the ground turkey.
