Description

Enjoy the comforting Ground Turkey and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes, perfect for cozy nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Russet Potatoes
  • ½ cup Milk
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey
  • 1 Onion (finely diced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Chicken or Turkey Broth
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • Salt to Taste
  • Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into quarters, placing them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender enough to mash.
  2. Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting the seasoning as desired.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil or butter. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until they turn translucent and fragrant.
  4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the turkey mixture and stir well. Gradually pour in the chicken or turkey broth, stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper, adjusting the flavors to your liking. Let it simmer for an additional minute or two for the flavors to meld.
  7. Spoon the ground turkey and gravy over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes.
