Ground Turkey with Potatoes and Spring Peas
Description
This recipe starts by finely chopping fresh tomato, garlic, and cilantro to form a fresh aromatic base. Ground turkey is browned and seasoned with cumin and salt to build a flavorful protein foundation. Adding scallions, peas, diced potatoes, tomato sauce, water, and a bay leaf to the browned turkey creates a stew-like consistency.
The dish simmers with the lid on over medium-low heat for about 25 minutes, allowing the potatoes to cook through and absorb the flavors in the tomato-based sauce. The peas add a tender bite and vibrant color. The bay leaf infuses subtle herbal notes.
This preparation is suitable as a simple, hearty main served over rice to complement the sauce and ingredients. The mixture's consistency can be adjusted with additional water if needed, and removing the bay leaf before serving avoids bitterness.
