Cut potatoes in half horizontally. Scoop out potatoes (save the extra potato to make mashed potatoes if desired) leaving about a ¼-inch thick wall; skins will weigh about 1 oz each.
-
In a large skillet, brown the turkey and season with salt.
-
When the turkey is browned, add onion, garlic, black beans, cilantro, serrano pepper, diced tomatoes, and cumin. Mix well and simmer on Low, covered, for about 20 minutes.
-
Remove lid. Add corn and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes or until all the liquid reduces.
-
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray potato skins on both sides with oil and place a foil-lined baking sheet.
-
Season with salt and pepper and bake skins for about 10 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven, then add ¼ cup of meat filling into each potato skin. Top with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese and bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
-
Top with sour cream and scallions. Enjoy!
