Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey (93/7 or 85/15) Lean turkey cooks faster.
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon gold or russet) Cut into uniform small dice for even cooking.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Warm until shimmering.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Cooking

  • Increase heat slightly and add the ground turkey. Cook until no longer pink and starting to brown, about 6–8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Stir in the diced potatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, stir, then reduce heat to low. Cover the pan and let simmer for 18–22 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.

Notes

For variations, swap sweet potatoes or use vegetable broth for a meatless option. Try a Korean-style flavor with gochujang.
