Instructions
How to Make Ground Turkey with Potatoes
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic for another minute until fragrant.
- Crumble ground turkey into the skillet and cook until browned, 7-10 minutes. Add in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well to incorporate those delightful flavors.
- Mix in the diced potatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed, then cover the skillet. Cook while stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the frozen peas to the skillet, gently stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, just until the peas are warmed through and vibrant.
- Once everything is cooked, top with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy this hearty dish warm, paired with a slice of crusty bread or over fluffy rice for a complete meal.
Notes
Optional: Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
