Ingredients: 6 oz 99% lean ground turkey, patted dry; 3/4 medium russet potato, diced into half-inch cubes; 1/2 red bell pepper, diced; 1/3 cup yellow onion, diced; 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 1/2 tsp smoked paprika; 1/4 tsp garlic powder; 2 tbsp water; 1 green onion, thinly sliced; 1 tsp lemon juice

Prep 18 min · Cook 12 min

Heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and a pinch of the salt. Cook for 6 minutes without stirring much until the bottoms are browned.
Add the water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Simmer for 4 minutes until the water is mostly gone and a fork easily pierces the potatoes. Uncover and cook for 2 minutes more to re-crisp the edges. Transfer potatoes to a plate.
Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining oil. Add the ground turkey in a single layer and let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to brown. Season with the remaining salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Break the meat into large crumbles and cook for 4 minutes more until no pink remains. Done when opaque and browned in spots, 165°F.
Add the bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the turkey. Cook for 4 minutes until softened. Stir the potatoes back in and cook for 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice, and garnish with green onions.
