Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

Seasonings and Liquids

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat to warm up while prepping the ingredients.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into approx. 1/2 inch cubes ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  3. Cook Potatoes: Add olive oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start softening and become golden brown.
  4. Chop Aromatics: While potatoes cook, peel and finely chop the onion, then peel and mince the garlic cloves.
  5. Remove Potatoes: When golden and slightly tender, remove potatoes from skillet and set aside on a plate.
  6. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic; cook for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant.
  7. Cook Ground Turkey: Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently until turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  8. Season the Meat: Stir in dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly into the turkey mixture for balanced flavor.
  9. Combine Potatoes and Turkey: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, mixing them well with the seasoned turkey and onions.
  10. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in chicken broth, stir to combine all ingredients, then cover skillet and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  11. Finish with Fresh Parsley: Remove skillet from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley for brightness.
  12. Serve: Plate the ground turkey and potatoes hot, garnished with more parsley if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes while cooking the onions and garlic.
  • Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a nutrient-rich, slightly sweeter alternative.
  • This recipe meal preps well; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make sure potatoes are diced evenly to ensure all pieces cook at the same rate and are tender.
