SELECTION:• Sweet potatoes are plentiful year round and can be found throughout the commissary as a popular snack chip or canned,

frozen, or fresh in the produce section.• Fresh sweet potatoes found in the produce section range in color from creamy beige, purple, brown, and reds to rich

hues. As a tuberous root crop, the prime harvest season lasts from October to January.• Look for small to medium sized elongated tubers with smooth, unwrinkled skins, without brown soft spots.• Cuts and nicks on the tuber occur during harvest but do not affect the quality of the sweet potato. It heals itself naturally

and will store well for months.

FUN FACTS:

• Although sweet potatoes are commonly referred to as yams, they are not the same vegetable. Sweet potatoes actually belong to the morning glory family. Yams originate from the family of grasses and palms.

• Unlike yams, sweet potatoes have a naturally sweet flavor with a deep orange to light yellow flesh with tapering at both ends. Because they are naturally sweet, they do not require extra oils, butter, or creams.

• George Washington Carver became one of the USA’s most prominent scientists, inventor, and agriculturalist. While studying sweet potatoes, he developed more than 118 inventions from them, including postage stamp glue, rubber, molasses, vinegar, flour, and a hybrid form of gasoline!

STORAGE:

NUTRITION/HEALTH/WELLNESS:

• One cup of baked sweet potato contains about 180 calories, but no cholesterol or saturated fat!

• The sweet potato tuber is high in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and powerful antioxidants. • Sweet potatoes contain more vitamin A and beta-carotene than any other tuberous root

crop. Vitamin A is an essential nutrient that promotes healthy skin, and vision and vitamin B assists in the regulation of the body’s metabolism.

• In addition to Vitamin A and beta-carotene, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of potassium, manganese, calcium, and iron.

• As an autumn and winter fruit, sweet potatoes can be stored from 4 to 6 months in a cool, humid, dark area such as a cellar, garage, or basement with optimal temperature between 55 to 65 degrees.

• Store sweet potatoes separately from other vegetables because they can speed up the ripening process of nearby vegetables.

• Sweet potatoes do not need to be washed before storage. This may encourage bacterial spoilage.

• Sweet potatoes can be easily frozen and stored in freezer bags, but must be cooked first.

Ingredients: 4 servings

• 3 sweet potatoes• 2 tbsp. olive oil• 1 tsp. cumin• 1 tsp. cinnamon• 2 tsp. hot sauce• 1 tbsp. minced garlic• ½ tsp. black pepper• 4 eggs• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth• 1 avocado• ½ cup cheddar cheese• ½ cup fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Cut up the sweet potatoes into ¾ inch cubes. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and then add the cubes. Add 2 tsp. of the chicken broth and the hot sauce and then cook for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add the remaining spices and toss.

2. Pour the remaining chicken broth into the pan so there’s at least ½ inch at the bottom.

3. Make 4 wells and crack open the eggs into these holes.

4. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and cover for around 15 minutes so the steam poaches the eggs.

5. Poke the white of the egg to ensure it’s cooked.6. Consider serving it alongside ¼ of an avocado

and a little sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes• 2 tbsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil• ¾ medium red onion (sliced)• 2 dashes of salt• 2 minced garlic cloves• 2 tsp. cumin powder• ½ cup low-sodium, canned black beans (drained and

rinsed)• 6 oz. cooked, boneless chicken (cut into chunks)• 3 jalapeño peppers (seeded and sliced)• ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

1. Wash and pat dry the sweet potatoes. Then lightly coat each by evenly distributing 2 tsp. of the olive oil between them. Wrap each in aluminum foil like a baked potato. Bake for 45 minutes.

2. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool, enough to handle. In the meantime, heat the remaining olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add ¾ of the sliced onions (set the remaining aside) and begin cooking. After one minute, add 2-3 dashes of salt and the garlic cloves. Turn heat to medium and cook until the onions are tender. Stir constantly.

3. Add the cooked onions and garlic to a medium-sized bowl. Remove the foil from the potatoes. Gently cut each in half. Carefully scoop the pulp of each half out and place it in the bowl.

4. Once all of the pulp has been added to the bowl, gently toss and incorporate the cooked onions. Add the cumin powder and drained black beans. Mix gently.

5. Spoon the pulp back into the skins. Then top each with chicken, cheese, and slices of jalapeño.

6. Place in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to reheat the pulp and melt the cheese.

7. Serve immediately.

Thanksgiving Meatloaf Dinner


Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

• 2 lbs. lean ground turkey (93% lean)• 1 box stuffing mix• 4 egg whites or 2 whole eggs• cup ketchup

• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth• 2 tbsp. butter• 1⅓ cup instant potato flakes• ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt

• 1 bag frozen green beans• 1 14-15 oz. can of whole berry

cranberry sauce (optional)

1. Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add the stuffing mix, eggs, and ketchup. Using hands or a wooden spoon, work the mixture until the stuffing mix and eggs are incorporated throughout the meat.

2. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with foil allowing at least 3 inches hanging over the sides, lengthwise (this makes for easy removal from the pan). Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray. Pour the meatloaf mixture in the pan. Pat gently to evenly distribute the mixture and then fold the foil over the top. Do not press the foil into the meat mixture.

3. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove the loaf from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.

4. After the meatloaf is removed from the oven and while it is resting, place the green beans in the microwave and for 8-10 minutes.

5. In a medium-sized sauce pan, bring the chicken broth and butter to a low boil and then remove from the heat. Quickly add the instant potato flakes and toss with a fork.

Add the yogurt and mix gently.6. Remove the meatloaf from the pan by gently pounding the

pan on the counter top. Unfold the foil and gently use it to lift the loaf out of the pan. Cut the loaf in half. Wrap one half of the meatloaf in the foil to be used for another time.

7. Serve each plate by place 1/4th of the potatoes, green beans on the plate. Cut the remaining half of the meatloaf into 4 equal slices and then place one slice on each plate. Top each slice of meatloaf with 1-2 tbsp. cranberry sauce (optional).

8. Tips:• Consider freezing the remaining half of the meatloaf for a

meal later in the month. Just remove meatloaf from the freezer in the morning to thaw. Remove the foil and then microwave to warm.

• To decrease the cooking time, make the mixture into 8-12 equal sized meatballs and then place the balls in a muffin tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes or place in a microwave safe glass dish, cover and microwave for 8-10 minutes.

Eating a nutritious diet is not an all or nothing behavior. In recent years the public has been swarmed with “health” information that is demonizing all processed food and to avoid foods that are in boxes. For the average American, consuming a diet that is free of any processed food is nearly impossible due to time and budget constraints. Although many may promote consuming foods with the least amount of processing and items that are closest to the “farm” as the gold standard, most credible health professionals encourage building a healthy eating pattern that can be maintained and adopted with the least amount of burden. This doesn’t mean that one should go to the extreme and glean from the last statement that any processed food in the diet is okay. The overall nutrition quality of any food should evaluated.

Ideally, a healthy eating pattern should be comprised of 80-90 percent of high nutrition quality foods. This means food that are mostly made up of nutrients that are good for you and have minimal amounts sodium and empty calories from unhealthy fat or added sugars. It is also best to aim for foods with the fewest ingredients and mostly ingredients you can pronounce. Using this criteria, there are plenty of processed foods that qualify.

For example, instant potatoes are just dehydrated potato flakes. They still provide key nutrients and offer the advantage a quick and easy preparation. Prepared dehydrated potatoes are good sources of vitamin C and the B vitamins. They also supply protein and fiber. This is just one example that not all processed food is bad. Plain oatmeal along with many frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are some other examples.

The nutrition quality of the diet can be immensely improved by cooking more meals at home, filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables (fresh, frozen, or canned), choosing lean meats and plant based proteins and mostly nonfat or low-fat dairy products, choosing mostly low sodium and no added sugar items, choosing mostly whole wheat or whole grain products, and using mostly healthy fats in cooking. If you need to rely on some processed food items to meet these suggestions, then do so. You are not failing. One way to build a high nutrition quality diet is to aim for 80-90% of the items in your meals by following this guidance.

This meal uses a combination of high nutrition quality ingredients that are fresh, boxed, and canned while using an item or two that may not be of the highest nutrition quality. In the end, the meal is tasty, quick, easy, and high in nutrients. Hopefully, it becomes one of your favorites and one of your go-to meals rather than using a drive-thru for your dinner. Just be aware that they’re high in carbs that boost your blood sugar.
