Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Ground Turkey with Potatoes dish. Peel and cut the potatoes into half-inch cubes for even cooking. Dice the onion and mince the garlic, ensuring they’re ready to enhance your dish's flavor.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes, and sauté them for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and tender.
  3. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary, then toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until it's browned and no longer pink.
  5. Stir the sautéed potatoes back into the skillet with the browned turkey. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring everything is well mixed. Cook for an additional minute.
  6. Pour in about one cup of chicken broth, stirring everything to combine. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Right before serving, stir in a generous handful of chopped fresh parsley for added brightness and flavor.
