Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1.5 pounds potatoes Yukon Gold or red potatoes recommended, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup milk or half-and-half for extra creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour optional, for thickening
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it's browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  3. Stir in the cubed potatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the all-purpose flour (if using) until smooth. This step helps to thicken the sauce. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the turkey and potatoes.
    ½ cup milk, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  5. Increase the heat slightly to medium-low and stir continuously as the sauce simmers. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can omit the flour and just stir in the milk.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  7. Serve the Ground Turkey with Potatoes hot. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, for a burst of color and freshness.
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley
