# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss the 2 lbs Russet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
02 -
Roast the seasoned 2 lbs Russet potatoes for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender. This creates the essential roasted potato foundation for your Hearty Loaded Potato Taco Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep.
03 -
While the potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1/2 diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the 2 minced cloves garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
04 -
Add the 1 lb lean ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Stir in 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper.
05 -
Pour in the 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce. This creates the savory High-Protein Taco Power for your Hearty Loaded Potato Taco Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep.
06 -
While the turkey simmers, prepare your fresh toppings. Dice the 1 large avocado, chop the 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, and get ready with the 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup salsa.
07 -
Divide the roasted potatoes evenly among 4 bowls. Top generously with the seasoned ground turkey mixture. Finish each Hearty Loaded Potato Taco Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep with a sprinkle of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, diced avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a spoonful of salsa, and fresh cilantro.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding. Use two sheets if necessary.
02 -
For meal prep, store the roasted potatoes and turkey mixture separately in airtight containers. Keep fresh toppings like avocado, yogurt, and salsa in individual small containers until ready to serve.
03 -
Feel free to customize your Hearty Loaded Potato Taco Bowl! Swap ground turkey for lean ground beef or black beans for a vegetarian option. Sweet potatoes can also be used instead of Russets.
04 -
Elevate your bowl with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, a dash of your favorite hot sauce, or a sprinkle of pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.
