Ingredients

  • 8 small to medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 T. olive oil divided
  • 2 green peppers diced
  • 1 large sweet onion diced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce + 2 T. of adobo sauce
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1 t. ground cumin
  • 1/2 t. garlic powder
  • 1/2 t. smoked paprika
  • 1 can 22 oz. Bush's Bourbon and Brown Sugar Grillin' Baked Beans
  • 1 1/2 c. frozen corn
  • 1 1/2 c. sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • sour cream to serve

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees with oven rack in upper third of oven.
  • Wash potatoes and prick each several times with a fork or a small, sharp knife. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave 6 minutes. Turn potatoes over and microwave 6 minutes more. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork. If they are tender. Take out to cool. If not, keep microwaving... start with about 3 minutes more. (You may have to do this in two rounds, depending on the size of your potatoes).
  • After potatoes have cooled a bit, halve each potato and scoop out the flesh. Save the middles for mashed potatoes at another meal.
  • Place potato halves, cut side up in a very large casserole dish. Drizzle potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Use fingers to spread the oil evenly over the insides.
  • Bake the skins at 500 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • While you are prepping potatoes, also cook the chili.
  • In a stock pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chopped green peppers and onion and saute for about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook through, breaking meat up with a wooden spoon.
  • Chop the chipotle pepper very fine. Add the chopped pepper, the adobo sauce, salt, cumin, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Stir until well combined and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the can of baked beans and corn. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Fill each potato skin evenly with the chili. Top each potato skin generously (about a heaping tablespoon) with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Return the stuffed potato skins to the 500 degree oven and bake for 10 minutes more.
  • Serve immediately topped with sour cream.
