Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 pieces green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 container olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Use a fork to pierce each potato several times around the skin to allow steam to escape while baking.
Lightly spray the potatoes with olive oil spray and sprinkle a pinch of salt over them.
Place the potatoes directly onto the middle oven rack and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the cooked bacon, let it cool slightly, and then crumble it into small pieces.
Slice the green onions thinly and set aside for garnishing.
Once the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Slice each potato open lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
Top each potato with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of crumbled turkey bacon, and sliced green onions.
Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
