Happy Monday!
Here's a quick meal!
Well it's quick if you have all the items on hand. :)
I tend to keep homemade turkey burgers in my freezer.
Remember prepping is important! Very!
I make about 10 - 12 at a time and freeze them for meals like this!
Turkey burgers can be used as a burger or chopped up and used in a variety of ways such as this!
All you need is: Small to medium sized sweet potato, 2 - 4oz of lean ground turkey (or extra lean beef if you prefer), natural salsa, natural green salsa, and non fat or low fat plain greek yogurt!
First thing first, "brown" the ground turkey unless you're like me and have it already on hand. If so just cut it up in tiny pieces.
Bake the sweet potato in the microwave for 10 minutes. Place it in a microwave safe bowl, cover with a paper towel, and let it cook. Turn it over halfway through. You can also bake the sweet potato in the oven but that will take about 45mins to an hour and this is a QUICK meal!
Let the baked sweet potato cool for a minute or two and then cut the potato down the middle. DO NOT SLICE IT IN HALF. Basically cut a slit in the middle so that you can open the potato enough to stuff it!
Add in a couple spoonfuls of red salsa, then ground turkey, more red salsa, green salsa, then top with lowfat yogurt.
*** Depending on how much ground turkey you have, it will not all fit. It also depends on the size of your potato. I usually load up my potato. Eat some and reload. :). It is so delicious. ***
Eat this all by itself or add in some avocado slices on the side! Or even inside your loaded potato!
If you have all items with the meat already cooked - this takes no more than 15 mins!
Quick and healthy! Nothing beats that!
Enjoy!
Let me know if you try it!
