  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Skillet:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes

For the Seasoning & Sauce:

  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

For Garnish:

 

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

 

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave for 5-6 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Turkey: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Remove turkey to a plate.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Add Spices: Stir in the smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Make the Sauce: Push vegetables to the side. Add tomato paste to the center of the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Combine and Simmer: Return the browned turkey to the skillet. Add the par-cooked potatoes. Stir everything to combine and coat in the sauce.
  7. Cook Through: Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, until potatoes are completely tender.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and optional Parmesan cheese.

Notes

 

  • Potato Tip: Par-cooking the potatoes in the microwave ensures they finish cooking at the same time as the turkey.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the red pepper flakes to control the heat.
  • Make it a Meal: Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables like green beans or broccoli.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.
