Ingredients
Fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes - peeled and cut into 1/4" wedges approx. 3 1/4 lb
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Chili:
- 15 oz. can black beans rinsed, 1/2
- 1/2 lb ground turkey breast
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1/2 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1/4 cup white onion chopped
- 10 oz. can diced tomatoes with lime cilantro & green chilies*, 1/2
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Garnishment:
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 roma tomato diced
- Juice from 1/2 lime
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Peel potatoes and slice them into thin wedge-like fries. Place them into a large bowl with hot water, cover and allow to sit for 25-30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Once the potatoes have been patted dry, place them back into the large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Toss to coat all fries. Spread the fries out evenly on the baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the fries are baking, place a nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Spray with nonstick cooking spray once the pan has heated. Add the ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and allow to cook. Stir frequently, making a point to break up the chunks into smaller crumbles.
- Once cooked, push the turkey to the sides and add the sliced peppers, onions and garlic to the center of the pan. Allow to cook until the onions have caramelized.
- Add the tomatoes and remaining seasonings. Stir well and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the black beans and cook for 2-3 minutes to warm the beans.
- Once the fries have reached 20 minutes, remove from oven and flip. Place back into the oven for 13-15 additional minutes, or longer depending on how thick you cut the fries, as well as how crispy you would prefer them.
- While the fries finish baking, combine diced avocado, diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice and salt into a small bowl. Toss gently to mix.
- Once the fries are done, remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Layer with chili mixture and avocado and tomato garnishment. Enjoy!
Notes
*canned mixture- if you cannot find, regular tomatoes will work as well. Feel free to flavor turkey mixture with lime juice, fresh/dried cilantro and green chilies for additional flavor!
