Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) lean ground turkey
- 1½ lbs (680g) russet potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup (60ml) low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients Begin by washing and dicing the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. For extra-crispy results, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Meanwhile, dice your onion and mince the garlic. Having everything prepped before you start cooking will make the process smoother.
- Step 2: Brown the Turkey Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in your large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 4-5 minutes until no longer pink. Season with half the salt and pepper while cooking. Transfer the cooked turkey to a clean plate and set aside.
- Step 3: Cook the Potatoes In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced potatoes in an even layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust. Stir and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are nearly tender. If the pan gets too dry, add a small splash of broth.
- Step 4: Add Aromatics and Seasonings Add the diced onions to the potatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, and thyme, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant. The aromatics will infuse into the potatoes, creating a delicious foundation for your ground turkey and potato skillet.
- Step 5: Combine and Finish Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Stir everything together, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the potatoes are completely tender. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess liquid.
- Step 6: Serve Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish your ground turkey and potato skillet with fresh chopped parsley right before serving. This adds a bright, fresh contrast to the savory dish and a pop of color. Serve hot, straight from the skillet for a rustic presentation that’s sure to impress.
