Baked Potato Pockets with Chili

(Makes 8 servings)

410-ounce (300 g) baking potatoes
olive oil cooking spray
1large onion, 8 ounces(240 g), chopped
2cloves garlic, minced
135-ounce (794 g) can no-salt-added plum tomatoes, chopped with juice
115-ounce(425 g) can low-sodium tomato puree
2tablespoons (30 g) good-quality chili powder
1tablespoon (15 g) ground cumin
1teaspoon(5 ml) crushed dried red pepper flakes
1teaspoon (5 ml) crushed dried oregano
1teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
2cups (312 g) chopped cooked turkey
18-ounce(240 g) green pepper, seeded and chopped
115-ounce (454 g) can red kidney beans, rinsed well
fat-free sour cream
fat-free grated cheddar cheese, about 2 tablespoons (14 g) per serving

  1. Pre heat the oven to 400°F (200°C), Gas Mark 6.
  2. Scrub the potatoes and pat dry. Prick several times with a fork. Bake directly on the middle oven rack (for the tastiest skin, don't oil the potatoes or wrap them in aluminum foil). Bake until soft to the touch, about 55 minutes to 1 1/4 hour.
  3. Spray a large nonstick pot with cooking spray and saute the onions and garlic over low heat, stirring until they begin to turn golden. Add the tomatoes and tomato puree along with the chili powder, cumin, pepper flakes, oregano, and cinnamon. Stir to combine and then add the turkey, green pepper, and kidney beans. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 40 minutes.
  4. Slice each potato in half, lengthwise and then cut a slash down the middle and open out. Spoon a cup of the chili on each potato half and top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese.
