Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes baked
• 2 tbsp. ghee melted (If you can't tolerate dairy, use 4 tbsp. avocado oil instead of half ghee/half avocado oil.)
• 2 tbsp. avocado oil
• 2 c. finely chopped kale leaves
• 1 lb. ground Italian sausage
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
• 8 oz. full fat canned coconut milk
• sea salt to taste
• freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• At this point, your potatoes should be baked and cooled enough to touch.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Scoop out the insides, leaving some of the potato in the skins. I use an ice cream scoop.
• Mix the melted ghee and avocado oil in a small dish.
• Brush the ghee mixture on both sides of the potato skins.
• Sprinkle the insides lightly with salt.
• Place potato halves face-down on a sheet pan and bake for 5 to 8 minutes.
• In a skillet, brown the Italian sausage and cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes.
• Add the Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.
• Saute 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic powder.
• Stir for 1 minute.
• Add the kale and coconut milk and stir until kale is very wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Using tongs, turn the potatoes over and continue to bake until the edges of the potatoes start to turn golden brown.
• Remove the potatoes from oven.
• Fill each skin with the Zuppa Toscana mixture.
• Return to the oven to crisp the meat, about 5-7 minutes.
