Methods to make this easy ground turkey dish

I purchase a package of ground turkey every week, and I’m at all times coming up with latest ways to make use of it. Here’s how one can 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 take away 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 can also use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. If you desire to skip the rice, double the potatoes or serve with roasted vegetables.

Methods to Freeze

Leftover ground turkey and potatoes will last within the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or within the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight within the fridge and microwave until warm.

Variations:

• Potatoes: Sub sweet potatoes for russet potatoes.
• Peas: Use frozen peas as a substitute of fresh ones. If you happen to don’t like peas, swap them for corn, black beans, carrots, or bell pepper.
• Tomatoes: Use a can of diced tomatoes in case you don’t have a fresh one.
• Spiciness: Add crushed red pepper or jalapeño or top with hot sauce to make it spicy.
