Yield

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 1 cup of Shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 cups roasted turkey breast
  • 2 cups frozen southwest blend vegetables
  • Honey Barbecue sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Wash potatoes and poke holes in skin with a fork. Bake in center of oven until tender, about 1 hour. Cool potatoes; cut in half lengthwise and scoop out potato pulp, leaving about ¼ inch around all edges. Reserve potato pulp for another use, such as mashed potatoes, hash or soup. (Alternatively, can also microwave potatoes according to manufacturer’s instructions). Put half the cheese into each of the eight potato skins, set on a rimmed baking sheet. Combine turkey and frozen vegetables and place equal amounts in each potato half. Top with remaining cheese and bake in the center of the oven until warmed through and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes. Serve with honey barbecue sauce.
