Make
- 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.
- 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.
- When potatoes are tender, slice in half and spread each half with butter. Spoon turkey mixture and pepitas over top. Enjoy!
