Method
 

  1. Choose 2 to 3 sides that balance the meal by including a protein, a fresh vegetable or salad, and a starchy or bread side if desired.
  2. Start cooking the sides that take the longest, such as roasted chicken thighs or baked turkey meatballs, before preparing quicker sides like salads.
  3. Serve the loaded baked potato with the selected sides on the plate; add sauces or garnishes like horseradish sauce or yogurt drizzle if included.

Notes

Add one acidic side like a tangy slaw and keep it separate until serving to prevent the plate from becoming too heavy.
