Ingredients

• Large baking potatoes - 2
• Ground chicken or turkey - 200 grams
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Green bell pepper - 1, diced
• Onion - 1 small, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Cheddar cheese - 100 grams, grated
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly and prick them with a fork several times. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender.
3. While the potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.
4. Add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
5. Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the peppers are soft.
6. Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
7. Spoon the chicken and pepper mixture into each potato half, then top with grated cheddar cheese.
8. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve the Kumpir Kebap hot, drizzled with Greek yogurt and garnished with fresh parsley.
