Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 4 medium potatoes
• 4 tablespoons shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
• 1 lightly packed fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems)
• 0.75 cup shredded or cubed cooked turkey
• 0.75 cup green salsa
• 0.5 cup sour cream, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly; leave oven on.

Step 3

Mix turkey, salsa, and chile pepper together in a bowl.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Return to the oven and bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.
