Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter or bacon fat
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 1 large green pepper, diced
- 1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, diced into 1/2″ cubes
- 4 cups leftover turkey, roughly chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp poultry blend (rosemary, thyme, sage), chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup turkey gravy
Instructions
- Heat the fat: Heat butter or bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
- Sauté onion and pepper: Add the diced onion and green pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to become translucent and fragrant.
- Cook potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown.
- Add turkey and seasonings: Toss in the roughly chopped leftover turkey, minced garlic, chopped poultry blend herbs, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and potatoes develop a slight char.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the hash and adjust the salt and pepper as needed to suit your preference.
- Serve with gravy: Remove from heat, top with warm turkey gravy, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- This recipe is an excellent use for leftover turkey, gravy, and herbs after holiday meals.
- Using bacon fat instead of butter adds a smoky depth to the dish.
- Be sure to dice the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- Feel free to substitute poultry blend with your favorite fresh or dried herbs.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can increase the heat slightly when cooking the potatoes.
