Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 ½ cups cooked turkey (shredded)
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pierce them several times with a fork.
- Rub each sweet potato with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, warm the shredded roast turkey in a skillet over low heat. Season with cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

Notes
- You can prepare the turkey and cranberry sauce ahead of time and simply assemble the dish when the sweet potatoes are ready.
- For added flavor, drizzle the stuffed sweet potatoes with a bit of gravy or melted butter before serving.
- Substitute turkey with cooked chicken if desired.
