Ingredients
- 4 small russet potatoes (about 8 oz. each)
- 2 tbsp light cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup + 3 tbsp skim milk
- ½ lb. ground turkey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, divided
- Sliced green onions, for serving
- Salsa, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- With a fork, pierce each potato in several places. Microwave until tender when pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving a ¼-inch border and transfer the flesh to a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the cream cheese and skim milk to the bowl with the potato and mash with the back of a fork or a potato masher.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat the skillet with cooking spray. Add the ground turkey and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until almost cooked through.
- Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper, and cook until the turkey is cooked through.
- Stir the ground turkey, green onions and ¼ cup cheddar cheese into the potato mixture until combined.
- Place the potato skins on a baking sheet and divide the turkey/potato mixture evenly between the skins. Divide the remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese between the stuffed potatoes.
- Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and the skins are slightly crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Garnish with green onions and serve with salsa.
