- 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

Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and halve them to ensure even cooking.

- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma.
- 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.
- Add Potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Combine and Heat Through: Let the mixture cook together for another 2-3 minutes so flavors meld and potatoes warm through.
- 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.
