01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 lbs Russet potatoes (diced) with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and salt and black pepper to taste. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast the seasoned potatoes for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy. These form the hearty base of your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep Dinner.

While the potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
04 -
Add 1/2 diced yellow onion and 2 minced cloves garlic to the skillet with the browned turkey. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
05 -
Stir in 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth and 1/4 tsp dried oregano to the turkey mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld for your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep Dinner.

Divide the roasted potatoes evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each portion with a generous amount of the savory ground turkey filling. This creates the foundation for a satisfying Loaded Potato Taco Bowl | High-Protein Meal Prep Dinner.

Garnish each bowl with 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup prepared salsa, and a sprinkle of 1/4 cup fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with 1 lime, cut into wedges.
# Notes:
01 -
For meal prep, store the roasted potatoes and turkey filling in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days. Reheat and assemble just before serving to maintain texture.
02 -
Feel free to customize your bowl! Swap Russet potatoes for sweet potatoes, or use ground chicken or lean ground beef instead of turkey for the protein filling.
03 -
Adjust the spice level to your preference by increasing or decreasing the chili powder and cumin, or by choosing a mild or hot salsa.
04 -
Elevate your Loaded Potato Taco Bowl with extra toppings like sliced avocado, pickled jalapeños, or a sprinkle of cotija cheese.
