Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey

Vegetables

  • 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Herbs and Spices

  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Oils and Fats

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil


Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and halve them to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare Aromatics: Dice the onion and mince the garlic to be ready for sautéing.
  3. Heat Oil in Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil to warm up.
  4. Sauté Onions: Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
  5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma.
  6. Cook Ground Turkey: Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, and rosemary. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
  7. Add Potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
  8. Combine and Heat Through: Let the mixture cook together for another 2-3 minutes so flavors meld and potatoes warm through.
  9. Serve: Plate the dish and optionally garnish with fresh rosemary for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can use dried rosemary if fresh is not available; just reduce the quantity to one teaspoon.
  • For softer potatoes, parboil the baby potatoes before halving and adding to the skillet.
  • This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed greens for a balanced meal.
  • Adjust salt and seasoning to taste when serving.
