Loaded Turkey Enchilada Potato Skins (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

in #food7 years ago

I’m breaking away from my typical sugar-laden weekend recipe and sharing a savory one today instead, but don’t worry, there’s lots of cheese, and, AND, tatoes! So that’s okay, right? Everyone good with this?

You know what my favorite recipes are? I mean, not that I don’t completely love the recipes that are quick and easy (like this and this), or ones that are just downright fun to make (like THESE). I also love the ones that are a sure thing for making everyone who eats them extremely happy (there are tons I could mention here: these, these, and these for starters).

Nor am I saying that this recipe doesn’t fit any/all of these categories, that’s what’s awesome about it. It not only is fast, fun to make, and loved by all, but my favorite part about it is that it’s the kind of recipe that uses up random leftovers from the fridge at the same time, YES! Those are my faves.

I also really don’t like seeing perfectly good food go to waste and potato skins are one of those things that are so often overlooked and tossed out before they’re even given a chance. I want to run through the streets shouting about how they can be so amazing.

So hopefully you olive haters didn’t ditch me the moment you noticed some on these yummies. The olives are completely optional. Should I say it again? You don’t have to add them!!! What is not optional is the cheese. Sorry, but these simply have got to have it or they won’t be the same if you skimp.

Another awesome part of making potato skins is that you still have the potato filling for whatever use you want. I used the fillings from these particular potatoes for a cheesy potato bake but you could also mash them, make soup, or just eat them with some salt and butter.

There are tons of options for topping them also, but since I was using homemade enchilada sauce I knew they weren’t going to be lacking any flavor so I went simple with just cilantro and lime on these. Feel free to load ’em down with salsa, guac, sour cream, and anything else you want though.

I so want these, but could you hold the olives? Love it. Your depth of field on these photos is amzing!! Fantastic work as always!!

Haha, I'll leave them off just for you @noboxes (weirdo, 😐 olives are yummy!😆)

Wow! These looks so delicious! Can you give me the recipe plz?

Sorry about the delay @creativewoman. My page must not have loaded because I thought I'd shared it already. Here's the recipe and I hope you love them.

Ingredients

6 - 8 medium potatoes (about 3 pounds)
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large tomato, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cups enchilada sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 pitted black olives, sliced (optional)
Optional toppings for serving:
lime juice
cilantro
sour cream
guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Scrub potatoes and dry then pierce with knife in a few places. Place them on a baking tray (or just directly on the oven racks) and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they feel soft when squeezed.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, heat oil In a large skillet over medium high heat and add tomatoes and onion. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened then add the turkey and cook until browned, breaking up chunks as it cooks. Once there is no pink left on the meat, add the enchilada sauce, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Remove potatoes from oven and allow them to cool enough to handle. Cut them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out center leaving a little bit of flesh. (Reserve the centers for another use. You can make mashed potatoes, Yay!) Brush both sides of potatoes with oil, place potatoes face-down on lined baking tray, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes until skins start to crisp then remove pan from oven and flip them over onto their backs.
  4. Divide the turkey mixture between the potato skins and top them with the cheese and, if desired, black olives. Return the pan to the oven and bake for about 5 more minutes until the cheese starts to brown. Remove from oven and cool for at least a few minutes before serving with desired toppings.

I love them so much! These are like pizzas 🍕, and all here they like them, i can try in the weekend.

I love it when you make these!! and the cilantro, that just puts it over the top

cruel when it happens
to confront the guerrilla is exceptionally troublesome
I've felt when guerrilla fighting happened
numerous regular people were exploited, since guerrilla fighting couldn't set a distinct target

These look like an awesome little snack, but the kind of snack that I'd probably end up eating a whole tray of if I wasn't careful haha.

Perfect recipe for using every part of the potato - thanks for sharing!! Kind of reminds me of the stuffed capsicum I made but obviously sans the Mexican inspiration lol.

Also YUM olives - does someone in your family not like them as I've noticed they're only on half haha

My Dad hates olives. So, yes, no olives for him. Thanks so much for the great commenting @phamised. And, yes, I know the problem of eating a whole tray - LOL

very delicious

Thanks @tcpaikano and welcome to steemit
