Turkey Stuffed Yams

Discover the story

The beauty of this recipe is you can truly make it whatever you want it to be!

Organic yams are a staple in the WOT kitchen — We can always find a healthy and delicious way to use them and these Turkey Stuffed Yams are no exception.

The filling and can be used in so many different ways for creative, fun, and easy meals! Today we have filled the yams with healthy scoops of organic ground turkey and chickpeas for a punch of protein which created a complete meal. But really, let this recipe just be your inspiration… Because you can get as custom as you want with these.

When making these, we decided to go for it and created an entire toppings and ingredients bar of our favorite and delicious fixings (a favorite thing to do at dinner time in Camila’s house). We used fresh organic tomatoes, spinach, peppers, jalapeños, avocado, arugula, broccoli, and goat cheese. If you are using leftover turkey that is already cooked, simply heat it up and add it to the toppings bar.

If you want to add melted cheese on top (who doesn’t?!), simply sprinkle on your cheese last and then broil your fully assembled yams for just 2 minutes until that cheese on top is nice and melted.

Did we mention you can really do no wrong with this recipe? Have fun with it and enjoy!
