DESCRIPTION
The recipe calls for store-bought hash browns and for frozen mixed veggies. But you can use any cooked potato that you have and any frozen (thawed), canned (drained), or leftover cooked veggies that you have.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 20 oz. bagged shredded hash browns*
- 1 and 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, divided
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. cooking oil
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 tsp. poultry seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups frozen mixed veggies, thawed
- 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half
- Fresh parsley or thyme, optional
Instructions
- Cook hash browns in a skillet according to package directions. If they are unseasoned potatoes, season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder, and the black pepper. Stir. Transfer potatoes to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Wipe out the skillet and set it over medium-high heat. Add the oil. Once hot, add the turkey and spread it out a bit. Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and the poultry seasoning. Allow to cook until browned underneath, 3-4 minutes.
- Top the turkey with the onion and stir it in. Cook until onion is starting to soften, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the thawed mixed veggies.
- Sprinkle turkey mixture with the flour and stir. Drizzle with the chicken broth. Cook while stirring until thickened and simmering, 2-3 minutes. Add the cream. Cook and stir for 30 seconds.
- Take skillet off the heat. Top turkey mixture with the cooked potatoes. Allow steam from underneath to reheat the potatoes.
- Optional: For a brown top, set the skillet about 6-8 inches below the broiler and broil until as brown as you’d like, but watch it carefully since it can happen quickly!

Notes
* Use any cooked potato instead of the hashbrowns. If you have large pieces or baked potatoes, chop them into 1/4-inch chunks. If they’re already small or mashed, leave them as they are. You’ll need about 4 cups. Since the potatoes are already cooked, skip Step #1.
