Ingredients

16oz white button mushrooms, halved
1lb lean or extra-lean ground turkey
1 small yellow onion, diced
3/4 cup low-sugar barbecue sauce
4 large sweet potatoes, baked and cooled
1/2 cup shredded low-fat Monterey Jack cheese
4 scallions, finely chopped

Directions

Add mushrooms to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Combine mushrooms and turkey in a large bowl, mixing with hands. Place a skillet over medium-high heat, then add turkey mixture. Cook stirring often, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
Add onions and cook another 7 minutes, or until turkey is no longer pink. Drain excess liquid, then add barbecue sauce and heat through.
Preheat broiler to high.
Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh. Add flesh to turkey mixture and stir to combine.
Place potato shells on a baking sheet and spoon in turkey mixture, topping with cheese.
Broil 5 minutes, or until cheese is brown and bubbling. Remove, sprinkle with scallions and serve.
