Ingredients

  • 6 small red potatoes, skins on (1 pound)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or cooking spray
  • 8 ounces lean ground turkey (15% fat or less)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Slice potatoes into small circles about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Lightly coat the potato slices with oil (or spray for 3 seconds with cooking spray).
