INGREDIENTS
1 medium Russet Potato (~150g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (~28g total)
0.75 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (~170g)
0.25 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded (~28g)
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
1 tablespoon Fresh Chives
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Wash the potato thoroughly and pat it dry. Prick it a few times with a fork.
Rub the potato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Place the potato directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes until the skin is crispy and the inside feels tender.
While the potato bakes, cook the turkey bacon in a pan over medium heat until it is crispy. Once cooked, crumble or chop it into small pieces.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, and chives. Mix well.
When the baked potato is done, cut it open lengthwise and gently fluff the interior with a fork.
Spoon the cheesy herb mixture into the hot potato, allowing the cheeses to slightly melt, and top with the crumbled turkey bacon.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
