Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; fill with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; let cool and break into small pieces. In same skillet, add turkey, salsa, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring to break meat into small crumbles, until turkey is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut off and discard 1/4 inch from the top of each. Scoop out flesh and place in a bowl; add milk to bowl and mash. Stir in turkey mixture, bacon and 1/3 cup cheddar; spoon evenly into potato skins. Top with remaining 1/3 cup cheddar. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray. Place stuffed potatoes on pan and bake until heated through, 15 to 17 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for even cooking.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the centers.
- Use a sharp spoon to scoop out the potato centers, being careful not to break the skin.
- Mash the potato centers with butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions.
- Season the potato mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the potato skins with the potato mixture and top with additional cheddar cheese.
- Bake the stuffed potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
