Ingredients

• 3 potatoes (medium)
• 8 ounce turkey (diced and cooked)
• 1 cup broccoli (coarsely chopped)
• 0.5 cup onion (chopped)
• 0.5 cup carrot (thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cup water (hot)
• 0.75 cup milk (fat-free (skim))
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup low-fat cheese (shredded)

Instructions

1. Scrub potatoes, remove any bad spots, and do not peel. Cut each potato in half, lengthwise.
2. In a covered saucepan, boil potatoes in just enough water to cover the pieces. When they are fork-tender (about 15 to 20 minutes), remove from heat and drain.
3. Set aside.
4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, combine cooked turkey, broccoli, onion, carrots, and hot water.
5. Boil until vegetables are fork tender - about 5 minutes.
6. Reduce heat to low.
7. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine fat-free milk, flour, and black pepper. Shake well.
8. Stir the flour mixture into the meat mixture until well blended.
9. Stir in low-fat cheese.
10. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes longer or until sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
11. To serve, place 2 potato halves on each plate and mash the middle somewhat.
12. Spoon about one third cup of the meat mixture over each potato half. Cover and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

You can also pierce whole potatoes with a knife or fork in several places and cook in microwave without water until fork tender, then cut each in half, lengthwise.
