Instructions

Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Cook the Turkey and Veggies: In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil. Add diced onion and bell pepper; cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with smoked paprika, oregano, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, until turkey is browned and cooked through.
Combine and Finish: Return the potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 3–5 minutes to let flavors meld and potatoes finish cooking.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy as a main dish or pair with salad or steamed veggies.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.

Add a fried egg on top for a breakfast-style version.

Substitute ground chicken or beef for variety.

Add spinach, zucchini, or peas for extra vegetables.

For a cheesy version, top with shredded cheese and cover to melt before serving.
