# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. On a large baking sheet, toss 2 lbs Russet potatoes (diced) with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp taco seasoning. Spread in a single layer. This forms the hearty base for your Loaded Potato Taco Bowls: High-Protein & Meal Prep Friendly.
02 -
Roast the seasoned potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender. While potatoes roast, proceed with preparing the turkey filling to save time.
03 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey and 1/2 cup yellow onion (finely diced) for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the turkey, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
04 -
Stir in 2 cloves garlic (minced) and 2 tbsp taco seasoning to the turkey mixture. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. This ensures a deeply flavorful filling for your Loaded Potato Taco Bowls: High-Protein & Meal Prep Friendly.
05 -
Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup canned black beans (rinsed and drained). Let it gently simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld all the delicious flavors.
06 -
While the filling simmers, prepare the creamy toppings. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup salsa. Set aside 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped).
07 -
Divide the roasted potatoes among four bowls. Top with the spiced turkey and bean filling. Garnish generously with the Greek yogurt-salsa mixture, shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for your delicious Loaded Potato Taco Bowls: High-Protein & Meal Prep Friendly.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet and don't overcrowd. A little extra space helps them crisp rather than steam.
02 -
These bowls are excellent for meal prep! Store the potato and turkey mixture separately from the yogurt-salsa topping to prevent sogginess. Reheat the base, then add fresh toppings.
03 -
Feel free to swap ground turkey for lean ground beef or even plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking time as needed.
04 -
Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the turkey filling for an extra kick. For more veggies, stir in diced bell peppers with the onion.
