Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie

Kids will LOVE this recipe! Sweet potatoes, cinnamon and sauteed apples with Italian Turkey sausage!

3 sweet potatoes
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cubed
1-2 tsp. butter
1 T. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
3 T. brown sugar
3 links Italian Turkey sausage

Bake the potatoes in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour; cut them in 1/2. Scoop out all but 1/4" around the sides of the sweet potato and mix in 1 tsp. cinnamon, butter and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and salt. Mash all of the seasonings, butter and potato together. Set aside.

Brown the Italian Turkey sausage. Drain and set aside.

Saute the apples with the rest of the cinnamon, thyme, nutmeg, brown sugar and a dash of salt until they are tender. (~4-5 minutes)

To assemble:
Sprinkle the sausage in the bottom of the scooped-out potatoe and then the apples. Top with the potato mixture and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
