Preheat and Bake Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet.

Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and translucent. 3. Prepare Filling: Stir the shredded turkey, cranberry sauce, fresh sage, and rosemary into the skillet with the onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 4. Stuff the Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each potato open lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork. 5. Add the Filling: Spoon the turkey and cranberry mixture into the center of each sweet potato. If desired, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a rich, cheesy finish. 6. Final Bake: Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly. 7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm.
