Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
1 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
2 carrots (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
1 potato (large, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 sweet potato (medium, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set turkey aside.
Add chopped yellow onion, sliced carrots, diced potato, and diced sweet potato to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in minced garlic, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Return the cooked ground turkey to the skillet and mix well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. If liquid remains, uncover and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow it to reduce slightly.
Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve directly from the skillet.

Notes

This meal is excellent for meal prep, as flavors meld nicely the next day. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
