Steps

1Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over the skin with a fork. Rub the outside of the potatoes with olive oil and cover with foil.
2Bake in the oven for 1 hour until fully cooked.
3Brown the ground turkey in a skillet on medium heat. Once it's finished cooking, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
4Mix well. Cook until the mixture is fully cooked and starts to crumble.
5Stir in the garlic, water, tomato paste, and tomato sauce. Stir until mixed well. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6Remove the sweet potatoes from the foil and slice down the middle. Mash up the insides with a fork and pour the sloppy joe mix over sweet potatoes.
7Serve and enjoy!
