Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Stuffed Peppers
These Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Stuffed Peppers are filled with flavors and a delicious homemade tomato sauce. Perfect recipe for your busy dinner time.
Today, I’ve brought you a new recipe that I’m really excited to share with you because I’ve always been a fan of stuffed peppers. This Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Stuffed Peppers recipe is so versatile since you can stuff your peppers with lots of different ingredients such as rice, beans, veggies, and meat.
I chose to make my stuffed peppers only with sweet potatoes and ground turkey because those were the ingredients I had on hand. My husband and I went to Costco a few weeks ago and we bought about 4 pounds of ground turkey because I love it and the price was really good.

There is so much you can do with ground turkey that it’s a good idea to buy more than 2 pounds and keep some on hand. When I buy it, I always use a good lean ground turkey to make my meals will be healthier.

Just curious, the cubed sweet potatoes are pre-cooked or raw cut cubed ?
I am doing this recipe tonight for sure!!!
This is raw cut cubed, Kimberly!
Can you tell me, if you know, how many calories per serving?
Thank you for this recipe! It looks delicious!
I am making this for dinner tonight!!
I added the nutritional facts on the recipe box 😉
Hi Olivia, I’ve tried another recipe of yours and LOVED it so I can’t wait to try this one! I do have a question – how to do you recommend heating them up if we are freezing them? I’d like to make a batch on Sunday and bring to work with me throughout the week for lunch – should I put it from the freezer into my lunch box (which is refrigerated) and then heat in microwave? Curious cause I’m culinarily-challenged 🙂 Thanks!
It will be fine if you heat in the microwave 😉
These are some of the best stuffed peppers ever. Really like the sweet potato in the mix. I added shredded zucchini too. Wonderful. I am glad I found your web site.
I loved that you added zucchini in there. Great idea 😉
I made these, with a bit of tweaking with the seasonings and cheese, they were delicious! I love the sweet potato and ground turkey combination.
Me too. This combo is my fave 😉
I’ve made these on numerous occasions, my mother especially loves them, they are so good! And, great for my diet 😊 making them tonight! YUM!
I’m so happy you and your mom enjoyed this recipe! We love too 😉
Ahhh! I can’t wait to make this recipe. I’ll be sure to let you know how it turns out. Looks delicious and has all of my favorite things. 🙂 Thanks for posting!
You’re very welcome 😉
I added cauliflower “rice,” a splash of soy sauce, and fresh basil. So good!
Awesome 😉
These came out so good! I was a little nervous when some of the meat started getting a little more brown with still not having the potatoes in yet. But it didn’t alter the taste at all. I cooked it at medium on the stove, not medium high heat. I cooked a whole package of turkey, with 1 sweet potato and it 4 peppers for dinner through out the week. Will definitely add this to the recipe box.
Amazing!
