  • Total Time: 30-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4 large potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional garnishes: chopped parsley or shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves. Set all ingredients aside for easy access during cooking.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  3. Push the cooked potatoes to the side of the pan. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Season with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix the cooked potatoes with the turkey and aromatics. Cook together for about 5 minutes for flavors to meld. Optional: sprinkle with chopped parsley or shredded cheese before serving.
