Instructions

Prepare the base: Heat the butter or bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering. Add the diced onion and green pepper, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and the peppers begin to soften.
Cook the potatoes: Add the diced russet potatoes to the skillet. Cook them for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking. The potatoes should become tender and start to develop a light golden crust.
Add turkey and seasonings: Toss in the chopped leftover turkey, minced garlic, and chopped poultry herbs. Season the hash with kosher salt and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is heated through and the potatoes start to char slightly for a flavorful crispiness.
Finish and serve: Taste the hash and adjust seasoning if necessary. Once done, top the turkey hash with warm turkey gravy. Serve immediately to enjoy the full comforting flavors.

Notes

This is an excellent recipe to use leftover turkey, gravy, and herbs, making it an ideal leftover Thanksgiving dish.
The use of bacon fat instead of butter enhances flavor with a smoky undertone.
You can customize the poultry blend with fresh or dried rosemary, thyme, and sage based on availability.
For a spicier twist, consider adding red pepper flakes when cooking the onions and peppers.
If leftover turkey is not available, cooked chicken can be used as an alternative.
