Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
- 2 cups cooked turkey pieces, chopped or shredded
- 2 cups prepared stuffing
- 1 1/2 cups brown gravy, warmed
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Rub the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle evenly with salt.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until fork tender.
- Warm the turkey, stuffing, and gravy separately so everything is hot before assembling.
- Slice each baked potato open lengthwise and fluff the interior gently with a fork.
- Add the remaining butter evenly inside the potatoes and season lightly with black pepper.
- Spoon warm stuffing and turkey into each potato.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for 10 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from oven and drizzle generously with warm brown gravy.
- Top each potato with a spoonful of cranberry sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking to prevent splitting.
- Keep fillings warm before stuffing to ensure even heating.
- For crispier skin, bake potatoes directly on the oven rack instead of wrapping in foil.
