How to make this easy ground turkey dish
I buy a package of ground turkey every week, and I am always coming up with new ways to use it. Here’s how to make this ground turkey and potatoes recipe.
Finely chop the tomato, garlic, and cilantro. Brown the turkey and season with salt and cumin. Add the scallions, tomato mixture, peas, potato, tomato sauce, water, cumin, salt, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for about 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Add more water if needed and remove the bay leaf.
What to Serve with Ground Turkey with Potatoes
We served this ground turkey dish over rice, and the portions were extremely generous. You could also use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. If you want to skip the rice, double the potatoes or serve with roasted vegetables.
How to Freeze
Leftover ground turkey and potatoes will last in the refrigerator for three to four days or in the freezer for up to three months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and microwave until warm.
Variations:
Potatoes: Sub sweet potatoes for russet potatoes. Peas: Use frozen peas instead of fresh ones. If you don’t like peas, swap them for corn, black beans, carrots, or bell pepper. Tomatoes: Use a can of diced tomatoes if you don’t have a fresh one. Spiciness: Add crushed red pepper or jalapeño or top with hot sauce to make it spicy.
