INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. Lean Ground Turkey
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8-½ tsp. cayenne pepper, to taste
1 can (14.5 oz.) Diced Tomatoes in Tomato Juice
1 can (15 oz.) Tri-Bean Blend, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
Salt & pepper, to taste
6 large baking potatoes
Shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese, for topping

2.)Add the ground turkey and cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until the turkey is cooked through and browned.
3.)Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 1 minute, then add the diced tomatoes, beans, tomato sauce and brown sugar.
4.) Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste the chili and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
5.) Cook the potatoes in the microwave or oven at 375 degrees while the chili is simmering. Rinse each potato and pat dry, then prick each with a fork several times. Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and cook for additional 5-7 minutes or until they’re fork-tender.
Prepare your chili-stuffed baked potatoes when the chili is ready. Slice each potato down the middle, but not all the way through. Placing a hand on each end, gently push in on both ends to open the potato. Top with about 1 cup of the chili, then a dollop of plain yogurt and a sprinkle of shredded cheese, if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
