Spicy turkey sweet potatoes

Transform turkey thigh mince into a low-fat, low-calorie, chilli-style filling for soft, creamy baked sweet potatoes

Ingredients

• 4 sweet potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 500g pack turkey thigh mince
• 500g carton passata
• 3 tbsp barbecue sauce
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• 4 tbsp soured cream
• ½ pack chives, finely snipped

Directions

STEP 1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prick the potatoes, place on a baking tray and bake for 45 mins or until really soft.

STEP 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and cook gently for 8 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic, then tip in the mince and stir to break up. Cook over a high heat until any liquid has evaporated and the mince is browned, about 10 mins. Pour in the passata, then fill the carton a quarter full of water and tip that in too. Add the barbecue sauce and cayenne, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 15 mins, adding a little extra water if needed. Taste and season.

STEP 3
When the potatoes are soft, split them down the centre and spoon the mince over the top. Add a dollop of soured cream and a sprinkling of chives.
