A savory one-skillet meal featuring ground turkey, diced potatoes, and aromatic spices, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
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.
