Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
- 2 cups turkey or chicken gravy (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the potatoes and set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning. Slice the onion and mushrooms. Cut the turkey breast into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh or frozen corn, ensure it's ready to use.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain the diced potatoes and add them to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Turkey: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the turkey pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine and Cook: Return the cooked potatoes and turkey to the skillet. Add the corn kernels and stir to combine. Pour the gravy over the mixture and stir gently to coat everything evenly. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the skillet turkey hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
