Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 1 medium tomato
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 4 medium scallions, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh peas
  • 1 large potato, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes

Meat

  • 20 oz 93% lean ground turkey

Pantry

  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp cumin (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Finely chop the tomato, garlic, and fresh cilantro either using a mini food processor or by hand, ensuring a uniform mixture that will infuse the dish with fresh flavor.
  2. Brown the Turkey: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned and thoroughly cooked, seasoning with kosher salt and cumin to taste for a fragrant base.
  3. Add Vegetables and Sauce: To the cooked turkey in the skillet, add the chopped scallions, the tomato, garlic, and cilantro mixture, fresh peas, diced potatoes, tomato sauce, water, additional cumin, salt, and the bay leaf. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer the Dish: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through. Add more water if necessary to maintain moisture.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the bay leaf from the skillet. Serve the hearty ground turkey and vegetable mixture over cooked rice or enjoy it on its own for a nutritious meal.
