Stuffed Baked Potatoes

This was something I just randomly put together one day. It turned out really good. It's super easy, something different and pretty healthy too!

Ingredients: Potatoes (I only made 2...but it will make up to 4 or 5 I would say if you are using a whole pound of ground turkey.)
                  1 lb. of ground turkey (or ground chicken)
                  1 onion, chopped
                 Fresh broccoli, chopped (about 1 head's worth)
                 Red pepper, chopped
                  Shredded cheese
                 BBQ sauce
                *Foil


Directions: So first, call your mom and ask her what to preheat the oven to for baked potatoes. Haha! I put this, because no matter how many times I ever make baked potatoes I can NEVER remember what to bake them at. So, for documentation purposes, my mom says preheat oven to 425! (what would I do without her?!) Wrap your potatoes up good in foil and poke some holes in the top with a fork. *Sometimes you really gotta stab it pretty good through the foil to get through....also good for a little anger management, lol.* :)
     Then, cook those in the oven until they are soft....when you can squeeze the sides and feel it's soft...It usually takes a good 45 minutes.
    While the potatoes are baking, you can brown your meat, drain the grease and set aside.
Also, boil your chopped broccoli in water until soft, then drain the water and set aside.
 When the potatoes are done, just unwrap them from the foil, slice them in half and top with the meat, bbq sauce, onion, peppers, broccoli and shredded cheese.

*Serves about 4-5, but the great thing about these is you can do as many or as few as you want. :)
