When selecting the whole turkey breast, opt for the largest one you can find to get generous slices for your dish. It should have an appealing pinkish color and firm texture. For potatoes, choose two larger ones instead of smaller ones, as they’ll yield more surface area for sautéeing, and their higher starch content helps the potatoes stay fluffy.

Ingredients

2 cups chicken broth

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced turkey breast and cook until browned on both sides. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set it aside.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.

Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly golden brown.

Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly reduced.

Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and stir to combine with the potatoes and sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve the Turkey Potatoes Skillet hot, straight from the skillet.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover Turkey Potatoes Skillet can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
