INGREDIENTS
2 medium Russet Potatoes
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey (93% lean)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (no salt added)
1/4 cup chopped Yellow Onion
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/4 cup Low-Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes clean, then prick them all over with a fork.
Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for about 45-50 minutes until tender.
Remove the baked potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell.
Brush the potato skins lightly with extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Return the skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they start to get crispy.
While the skins crisp, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey along with the chopped onion and sauté until the turkey is browned and the onions are translucent.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and chili powder, and simmer for about 5 minutes allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon a generous amount of the lean turkey chili into each crispy potato skin. Top with shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the filled potato skins back in the oven for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced meal that marries a crunchy texture with a hearty, protein-rich filling.
