Description
Savor the savory blend of juicy ground turkey and tender potatoes, all cooked in one pan for a hassle-free, hearty meal your family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 medium potatoes, washed and diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnishing
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften and develop a golden color.
4. Add the chopped onion and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
5. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
6. Return the cooked ground turkey to the skillet. Mix well with the potato mixture.
7. If using, add the frozen peas to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 3–5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
8. (Optional) Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt, about 2 minutes.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your meal hot!
Notes
Using different potato varieties like Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes can alter texture and taste.
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
This meal can be served with a side of green salad or crusty bread for a more complete dinner.
It’s a perfect make-ahead meal and can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
