Twice Baked and Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

In this one, sweet potatoes are counterbalanced by pungent Gorgonzola cheese and savory turkey bacon. Sounds YUMOLA to me!! And, sweet potatoes are SO good for you.
(serves 4)

4 large sweet potatoes (about 8 oz. each), scrubbed
2 t. EVOO, divided
1 1 oz. slices all-natural turkey bacon with no nitrates or 'trites, cut into 1/4" strips
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 freshly* ground black pepper
1/4 t. sea salt
1/8 t. ground nutmeg
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 T. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preheat oven to 375. Place potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush skins with 1 t. oil. Bake, turning once, until tender when pierced with a fork, about 45-55* min. Set aside. Meanwhile in a medium skillet on med.-high heat, heat remaining 1 t. oil. Add bacon and cook stirring frequently, until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Make a slit in each potato lengthwise, and scoop flesh from skins. Return skins to baking sheet. To bowl with potato flesh, add yogurt, S&P, and nutmeg; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Fold in onions, cheese and bacon. Spoon flesh mixture back into skins. Return to oven to heat through, 7-10 min. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

God help America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
