Not going to lie... a massive pile of loaded nachos with all the fix-ins is one of America's finest restaurant offerings. Buuuut it's also a bomb to the stomach and doesn't leave you feeling the greatest. My version has all elements you would want in nachos, but it is healthier and won't leave you feeling gross. This recipe is the meal-prepped version that I made for the week days, so it has 3-4 servings. It's also great for family dinners or a make-your-own nacho bar with friends! Ingredients 3 large regular potatoes 1 large white onion 1 lb of 99% fat-free ground turkey 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1 avocado Salsa (no-sugar added) Fat-free plain greek yogurt Salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes Cooking spray Optional: part-skim mozzarella cheese, jalapeños Directions Preheat oven to 425. Roughly peel the skin off the potatoes, leaving some on, and slice thin. Place potato slices on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed. Add sea salt and pepper on top. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Since they are thin, they may burn quickly, so keep an eye on them! Chop the white onion. In a sauté pan over medium heat, spray with cooking spray and onion. Cook until brown and caramelized. Remove onion from the pan and set aside on a plate. Spray the pan again with cooking spray and add ground turkey. Once browned, sprinkle on equivalent amounts of salt, pepper, paprika, cumin and red pepper flakes. Cook the meat fully in the pan. Time to assemble the nachos! ![]() Fill the base of your plate with roasted potatoes and add onions on top. ![]() Add 1/4 of the ground turkey (about 4 oz) on top. ![]() Add a handful of halved cherry tomatoes, a scoop of salsa, 2 tbsp of greek yogurt, 1/3 of chopped avocado. Enjoy with a fork and knife, or get messy and dig right in!

Your point concerning the pros and cons of the loaded nachos is really interesting. First of all, as an American, I too pride myself with the loaded nachos. I think that it is one of the best snacks we can offer, however, I also agree with your other point. I think that our usual way of preparing the loaded nachos is not very kind to our stomachs. All the different ingredients makes it hard for our stomach to digest them. I think your loaded nacho recipe pays great attention to that problem.
