Loaded baked potatoes are so quick and easy to make. A few of my other favorites are Loaded Turkey Chili Baked PotatoBroccoli and Cheese Twice Baked Potato, and Loaded Philly Cheesesteak Baked Potatoes.

Seriously, I doubled the turkey filling and couldn’t stop eating it. I had it with eggs for breakfast and on tortillas for lunch, even made some enchiladas with the extra… it is THAT good!

The serrano peppers give the filling a little extra kick that I just loved. I found them jarred in my Mexican aisle, the brand I used was Goya, a little goes a long way. You can make the potatoes and the filling the day before, then bake when you are ready to serve!

And did I mention they are gluten-free? To make them vegetarian, simply leave out the turkey and add a little more corn and beans to the filling.

Let the games begin!!

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 55 minutes
Total: 1 hour 5 minutes
Yield: 14 servings
Serving Size: 1 loaded skin

Ingredients

  • 7 medium, 32 oz russet potatoes, washed and dried*

For the filling:

  • 1/2 lb 99% lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 hot pickled serrano pepper, chopped (or jalepeño)
  • 1 large diced tomato
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • kosher salt to taste

For the topping:

  • 14 tbsp reduced fat shredded cheese, I used Sargento Mexican
  • nonstick spray, Smart Balance
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • reduced fat sour cream or fat free Greek yogurt, optional

Instructions

  • Pierce potato with a fork a few times all around. Place in microwave and cook on high about 5 minutes per potato. When finished, allow to cool enough to handle.
  • Cut potatoes in half horizontally. Scoop out potatoes (I save the extra potato to make skinny garlic mashed potatoes the next day) leaving about 1/4 inch thick wall, skins will weigh about 1 oz each.
  • In a large skillet brown the turkey and season with salt.
  • When the turkey is browned, add onion, garlic, black beans, cilantro, serrano pepper, diced tomatoes, and cumin.
  • Mix well and simmer on low, covered for 20 minutes.
  • Remove lid, add corn and simmer an additional 5-10 minutes or until all the liquid reduces.
  • Heat oven to 450°. Lightly spray potato skins on both sides with oil and place a foil lined baking sheet.
  • Season with salt and pepper and bake skins for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, add 1/4 cup meat filling into each potato skin, top with 1 tbsp shredded cheese and bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Top with sour cream and scallions. Enjoy!!
