Fully Loaded Baked Potatoes
February 27, 2025 | Delicious Dinners, Healthy Recipes, High ProteinLooking for a comforting dinner? This healthy twist on a classic is warm, hearty, and so delicious!
Hello Stability Nutrition Friends,
Happy Thursday!
Baked potatoes have always been a favorite of mine. They’re comforting, creamy, and so satisfying. Traditionally, they’re loaded up with cheese, sour cream, and bacon bits. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, today we’re taking the classic and putting a Stability Nutrition spin on it!
These Fully Loaded Baked Potatoes are packed with well-seasoned lean ground turkey, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes, and fresh salsa, making them just as satisfying as the traditional version - but with a nourishing, balanced twist!
The best part? This comes together in about 10 minutes (aside from baking the potatoes), making it perfect for busy weeknights. Want to switch it up? Swap the potato for a sweet potato, or use black beans, lentils, or tofu for the filling. They’re completely customizable, so you can make them exactly how you like!
If you’re looking for a comforting meal that’s simple, hearty, and packed with feel-good ingredients, you’re going to love this one!

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
4 medium Yukon gold potatoes (russet or sweet potatoes work well too)
2 tsp olive oil
½ small red onion, finely diced
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large zucchini, diced small
4 cups fresh spinach
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings:
Cherry tomatoes
Fresh Salsa
Unsweetened plain dairy-free yogurt or dairy free sour cream
Diced avocado, cilantro, fresh squeezed lime juice, green onion
Instructions:
Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Scrub the potatoes, pierce them a few times with a fork, and wrap individually in parchment paper or foil. Place on a sheet pan and bake for 60-80 minutes, until tender. Set aside to cool.
Cook the Turkey and Veg: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Warm the olive oil, then sauté the red onion for a couple minutes until tender. Add the turkey, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Break it apart as it cooks, stirring often. Cook for about 5 minutes until almost done, then add the garlic and zucchini and cook until the zucchini is slightly softened. Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Turn off the heat.
Assemble: Slice open each baked potato in an X, and fluff the inside slightly with a fork. Divide the turkey and veggie mixture evenly among the potatoes.
Finish: Add your toppings of choice, and serve.
Enjoy!
