  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional for added color)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Having all ingredients prepped makes cooking smoother.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-9 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the turkey mixture. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or carrots for variation.
  • Use fresh herbs for a more vibrant flavor or dried herbs for convenience.
  • Ensure the turkey is cooked through to prevent foodborne illness.
