I’m going to keep this one short and sweet! This Turkey Chili Loaded Baked Potato uses a few short cuts. It’s by no means your traditional, long simmered chili (I’m not from Texas so I can do this LOL) but it is simple and delicious!

3-4 Russet potatoes
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon canola oil
Salt, pepper, smoked paprika or chili powder, cayenne (optional)
10-12 ounce jar salsa
5-6 ounces of fresh spinach
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 can black or white beans
2 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

1. Prick the Russet potato all over with a fork. Microwave for 8 minutes on high. Flip it over in microwave for 8 more minutes. Finish in the toaster oven or regular oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees to make the skin crispy.

2. While the potatoes are cooking, start browning your lean ground turkey breast in a tablespoon of canola oil or five or six minutes. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika ( or chili powder ) and cayenne if you like it hot.

3. Pour a jar of salsa into the ground turkey and simmer for 5 minutes (add a little water if it begins to dry out). Add some fresh spinach and frozen corn if you like. A can of beans would go good in this as well.

4. Slice open the potato and top it with shredded cheese.
