Ingredients
- 4 small russet potatoes about 8 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons light cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons nonfat milk
- ½ pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese divided
For Serving:
- sliced green onions
- salsa
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.
