Tuna Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Using canned tuna keeps this dish right in a target budget. A dollop of pickle relish on top brings out that classic tuna salad flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium baking potatoes
  • 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
  • 1 can (5 ounces) albacore white tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

  • Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 15-20 minutes or until tender, turning once.
  • When cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells.
  • In a small bowl, mash the pulp. Add the cottage cheese, tuna, celery, onion, 1/4 cup cheese, paprika, salt and pepper. Spoon into potato shells. Place on a baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
