Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.

02

Step

55 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 50-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly; leave oven on.

03

Step

5 mins

Mix turkey, salsa, and cilantro together in a bowl.

04

Step

10 mins

Make a slice in the top of each potato and scoop out the inside. Place in a bowl and mash. Add turkey-salsa mixture, sour cream, cream cheese, butter, salt, and pepper; mix to desired consistency. Fill potatoes with mixture and sprinkle Mexican cheese on top.

05

Step

15 mins

Return to the oven and bake until heated through, about 15 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the turkey-salsa mixture.
Feel free to substitute other types of cooked meat, such as chicken or ground beef.
If you don't have cream cheese, you can use extra sour cream.
Adjust the amount of salsa verde and Mexican cheese blend to your preference.
