Ingredient quantities scaled for 4 people. Base yield: 4 servings. Copy the scaled list for shopping.

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 12 ounces 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/3 cups no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 packed cups baby spinach, chopped
  • 3/4 cup mild salsa
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 425°F. Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place on a sheet pan. Roast 40 to 50 minutes, until completely tender.

  2. 2

    While the potatoes roast, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the turkey and cook 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles.

  3. 3

    Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Add the black beans, spinach, and salsa; cook 3 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the filling is hot.

  4. 4

    Split each sweet potato lengthwise and fluff the flesh with a fork. Spoon in the turkey-bean mixture and top with cheddar.

  5. 5

    Return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Finish with scallions.

Fiber-forward recipes

These meals emphasize oats, lentils, beans, fruit skins, vegetables, and seeds. If you are adding more fiber, increase it gradually and drink appropriate fluids; a sudden large increase can cause gas or bloating, and high-fiber meals may be poorly tolerated during significant nausea.

If your usual fiber intake is low, consider beginning with a half portion and building over several days while maintaining hydration.

Why is this fiber-forward?

The ingredients emphasize plant foods and provide an estimated 13 g of fiber per serving. Increase fiber gradually if your usual intake is lower.
