Loaded Sweet Potato from Biggest Loser


So normally I watch these shows that have weird healthy recipes on them and I refuse to try them. I've watched Biggest Loser for what seems like forever and I do believe this is my first attempt at one of their recipes. That being said, Husband and I were so pleasantly surprised by this recipe! I know the picture looks a little gross but trust me it's good! We ended up splitting one big one because I could not have finished that! All in all 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Serves: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) sweet potato
  • 4 ounces extra-lean ground turkey
  • 3/4 teaspoon all-natural salt-free fajita or Southwest seasoning,
  • Olive oil spray propellant free
  • 1/3 cup fresh salsa drained
  • 2 tablespoons jarred all-natural roasted green salsa
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free Greek yogurt

Directions

  1. Using a fork, poke the potato 5 times on all sides and place it in a microwave-safe bowl or dish. Cover the dish loosely with a paper towel.
  2. Microwave it on high for 3 minutes. Carefully flip the potato (it will be very hot) and continue microwaving for 2 to 4 minutes longer, or until cooked and tender.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the turkey and seasoning.
  4. Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, lightly mist it with the olive oil spray. Cook the turkey for 3 to 4 minutes, or until no longer pink, breaking it into bite-size chunks as you do.
  5. Cut an opening in the potato that stretches 1 inch from each end of the potato and deep enough to open the potato completely without cutting it in half.
  6. Put it in a medium shallow bowl. Stuff the potato with the fresh salsa, then the turkey, then the green salsa. Top it with the yogurt. Serve immediately.
