Ingredients

  • 3-5 Russet potatoes - depending on how many you are feeding
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1 small white or yellow onion, diced
  • kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce of your choice
  • 1 1/2 cups ketchup
  • 7 oz. tri color coleslaw (about 2 cups)

  • garnish ideas: green onions, cherry tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, parsley, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and dry the potatoes. Use a fork to poke a few holes around the potatoes. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet, rub with olive oil and a generous amount of kosher salt. Bake for 40-60 minutes or until fork-tender. (The time varies based on the size of potatoes).
  2. Heat remaining olive oil in a deep saute pan. Add the onion and sauté for ~3-5 minutes or until fragrant. Season onions with salt and pepper. Then add in the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink. Add the chili powder and garlic powder, stir to combine. Then add the BBQ sauce and ketchup, stir well. Lastly add in the coleslaw and zucchini and mix well. If sauce seems too thick, add a bit of water to get the sauce to a consistency you like!
  3. Bring to a gentle simmer while the potatoes finish cooking. Once done, cut potatoes lengthwise and stuff with the sloppy joe mixture. Garnish with tomatoes, green onions, cheese, sour cream, etc. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store sloppy joe mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Make baked potatoes in advance to speed up the cook time when you're ready to eat!
  • Add different veggies (chopped broccoli, spinach, etc.)
