It's our last Belgium-Wednesday. This makes me very, very sad :( I mean, I miss y'all back in the good 'ole US of A, but every time I come to Belgium, I leave a little bit more of my heart here. Good thing I have a God who is big enough to continue to fill up the parts of my heart that He asks me to give to others as I love and serve them.
On to the food - PaleOMG is one of my favorite blogs. The food is delicious, Julie is full of sarcastic commentary on life, and the recipes range from Whole30-approved to cheat days that don't make you feel too sick after you indulge. Tonight's dinner is a baked potato bar from this recipe. You should definitely try this one out.
The Foodstuffs:
- Two sweet potatoes, or yams, with holes poked all over. Or, regular potatoes if that's your thing.
- Two tablespoons bacon fat.
- Two garlic cloves, minced.
- Half of a yellow onion, diced (I don't like onions, so I'm leaving this out).
- Half a pound of ground turkey (or whatever).
- Two tablespoons hot sauce.
- One teaspoon garlic powder.
- Half a teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Five or six cups of fresh spinach (or kale).
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 425*
- Poke holes in sweet potatoes and wrap in foil. Place in oven and bake for 45-50 minutes.
- Once the sweet potatoes have about 10 minutes left to cook, add 2 tablespoons of bacon fat to a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic cloves to the pan then add the onions.
- Once onions are translucent, add ground turkey and break up with a wooden spoon.
- While the turkey is cooking, add hot sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to the meat and mix.
- When turkey is pretty much done cooking, add spinach and cover to help the spinach steam, then mix with the meat.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
- When the sweet potatoes are done cooking, cut open and mash insides up with a fork. Then add the turkey mixture to the inside.
