Ingredients
- 1/2 Tsp five spice powder (divided)
- 2 Tsp ginger (grated)
- 1 Pound ground white meat chicken
- 1 Large bunch broccoli (cut into florets)
- 1 red pepper (chopped)
Sauce
- 6 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/4 Tsp chili garlic sauce
Note
Once your chopping is done, this meal comes together in literally 10 minutes. You could substitute any vegetables for the broccoli and red pepper - mushrooms, green beans, or zucchini would all work great. Ground turkey or beef could also be used in place of the chicken.
Directions
1. | Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Micowave for 4 minutes, turn them over, and microwave another 4-5 minutes, until soft. Remove and let them sit until they are cool enough to handle. Slice them lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving the skins intact. |
2. | Mash the flesh in a large bowl with 1/4 tsp five spice powder. Stuff the mashed sweet potato back in the shells, dividing it evenly among all four shells. Set aside. |
3. | Heat a large non stick wok or skillet over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add ginger and cook for about 30 seconds. Add ground turkey and 1/4 tsp five spice powder and cook until fully cooked through and beginning to brown. Remove to a plate and set aside. |
4. | Add broccoli and red pepper to skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground turkey and sauce to the skillet and cook until everything is coated with the sauce and heated through. |
5. | Spoon turkey mixture on top of sweet potatoes and dig in! |
