Stuffed Potatoes With Meat And Vegetables

Ingredients

• 8 medium potatoes
• 1 cup diced cooked turkey, chicken, beef, or pork
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped broccoli
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3/4 cup thinly sliced carrots
• 3/4 cup hot water
• 1 tablespoon non-fat milk
• 1/4 teaspoon flour
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• shredded low-fat cheese

Method

1. 1 Scrub potatoes, remove bad spots, and cut each in half. Do not peel.
2. 2 Boil potatoes in a covered saucepan with just enough water to cover until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. 3 In a skillet, combine meat, broccoli, onion, carrots, and hot water. Boil until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
4. 4 Mix milk, flour, and pepper in a jar with a tight lid. Shake well, then stir into the meat mixture until blended.
5. 5 Stir in cheese and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.
6. 6 Mash the middle of each potato half slightly. Spoon the meat mixture over the potatoes and serve.
