Step 2: Using a sharp knife, cut the insides away from skin. Save potato guts for another use, using as thin a shell as possible.
Step 3: Sprinkle potato shells with "Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic" and put them back in the oven for 15 minutes, or until skins are brown and crisp.
Step 4: To make mock sour cream: process cottage cheese until smooth. Add vinegar and process until completely blended. Put to the side.

Step 7: Push cooked vegetables to outside of pan, and add chopped turkey to center of pan. Cook 9 minutes, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Turn occasionally to brown, and eventually incorporate into vegetable mixture.
Step 8: Add the chili powders and the cornmeal and cook for 3 minutes, or until the mixture is sticking hard. Add one cup stock, scrape well, and cook three minutes. Stir in chopped green chiles - cook two minutes.
Step 9: Add 1/2 cup stock and cook 5 more minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup stock and cook eight minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan well, as the bottom sticks. Remove from heat.
Step 10: Place crisp potato shells on a baking sheet. Line the bottom of each shell with shredded lettuce. Add one teaspoon chopped tomatoes, and 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped onions. Fill with 2 tablespoons meat mixture, and top with 1/3 tablespoon shredded cheese.
