  • Author: Crystal

Description

This hearty, one-skillet Ground Turkey and Potatoes with Wilted Greens is the ultimate weeknight comfort food. Lean ground turkey, tender diced potatoes, and fresh tomatoes simmer in a savory broth, then get tossed with dark leafy greens until just wilted. Packed with protein, fiber, and flavor, this gluten-free dinner comes together in under 30 minutes. Serve as is or with a slice of crusty bread for a satisfying, nourishing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb lean ground turkey
  • ½ cup yellow onion, chopped
  • ½ cup roma tomatoes, cored and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup potato, diced
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups dark leafy greens (such as kale, spinach, or Swiss chard), chopped
  • 1 Tbsp parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add chopped tomatoes, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in diced potatoes and low sodium chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Stir in dark leafy greens and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Tips: Use any dark leafy greens you have on hand — kale holds up best, while spinach wilts fastest. For extra richness, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving. Substitutions: Swap ground turkey for ground chicken or lean beef. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian version (omit turkey or use plant-based crumbles). Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth if needed.
