Make

  1. Scrub potatoes and pierce with a fork. Place in a baking dish and pour 2 Tbsp / 30 ml of water in the dish. Cover with a wet paper towel and cook in microwave until tender, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once in the middle.
  2. While potatoes are in the microwave, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil and then zucchini and bell peppers to heated oil. Season with a pinch of salt and saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, cumin and chili powder and saute until fragrant. Pour leftover turkey bolognese over top and cook until warmed through. Set aside.
  3. When potatoes are tender, slice in half and spread each half with butter. Spoon turkey mixture and pepitas over top. Enjoy!
