Ingredients: 6 oz Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp butter; 2 tbsp 2% milk; 3/4 tsp salt; 6 oz 99% lean ground turkey; 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil; 1/4 tsp dried parsley; 1/2 tsp onion powder; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 2 cups water

Prep 15 min · Cook 15 min

Place the potatoes and all the minced garlic in a small pot and cover with the water. Add half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes simmer, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, onion powder, dried parsley, remaining salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles, for 6 to 8 minutes. Done when opaque in the center and lightly browned, 165°F.
When the potatoes are done, scoop out 2 tablespoons of the potato cooking water and stir it into the turkey to keep it moist. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Drain the potatoes and garlic. Return them to the hot pot and place over low heat for 1 minute to steam off excess moisture. Add the butter and milk. Mash until smooth, incorporating the softened garlic with the potatoes.
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto a plate. Flank with the seasoned ground turkey and serve immediately.
