Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until soft when poked with a fork. Remove the sweet potato from the oven and set it aside to cool.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the egg, egg whites, and cottage cheese until smooth. Fold in the Parmesan cheese, pepper, nutmeg, and spinach.
-
Remove the skin from the sweet potato and mash well. Fold in the mashed sweet potato and the flour to the egg-cheese mixture. The mixture will be wet and sticky. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
-
While the dough rests, coat a large sauté pan or Dutch oven with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and sauté until barely cooked through, about 8 minutes.
-
Pour the marinara sauce and broth over the turkey and stir to incorporate. Reduce the heat to low.
-
Scoop 2-inch balls of the dumpling batter and gently drop them into the sauce to make 24 dumplings. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
