# What You'll Gather:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound ground turkey
02 - 3 medium potatoes
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 medium onion
05 - 3 cloves garlic
06 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
07 - 1 teaspoon paprika
08 - 1 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
11 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
02 - Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
03 - Add the olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
04 - While the potatoes cook, peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
05 - Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
06 - In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook the onion and garlic for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
07 - Add the ground turkey to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Break up the turkey into smaller pieces as it cooks, stirring frequently for about 6-8 minutes, until the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
08 - Add the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the turkey. Stir the seasonings into the turkey mixture, ensuring an even distribution of flavor.
09 - Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the turkey and onions. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
10 - Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve the ground turkey and potatoes hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

# Important Tips:

01 - You can leave the skin on the potatoes for added texture and nutrients.
02 - For a more savory flavor, try using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.
03 - If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
04 - You can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter version.
05 - Try adding other herbs like rosemary or oregano for extra flavor variations.
