Description

This savory blend of ground turkey and tender potatoes is seasoned to perfection, creating a satisfying dish that’s simple to whip up and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1⁄2 cup chicken broth
  • 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the ingredients: dice the potatoes, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and no longer pink.

4. Season the cooked turkey with salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and thyme. Stir well to combine the flavors.

5. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir everything together to ensure the potatoes are well incorporated with the turkey and spices.

6. Pour the chicken broth over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Once the potatoes are cooked through, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish. Mix well.

8. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish, cover the skillet again, and allow the cheese to melt, about 2–3 minutes.

9. Remove from heat and serve hot, either as a standalone dish or as a filling for tacos or wraps.


Notes

This dish can be modified by adding vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or peas for added nutrition.

It’s a versatile recipe that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth for a different flavor profile.
