Farm Fresh Dinner Hash

Tonight's dinner ended up a bit different than planned.  It was suppose to be a ground turkey skillet, but I went a little crazy at the farm and butcher.  I ended up with lots of extra produce including potatoes and local bacon so it turned into a dinner hash on steroids...lol

This is a simple meal to make.  The most time consuming part is chopping the veggies, but it is sooooo worth it!  Each veggie brings a great flavor to this dish!  You could definitely use your imagination and add whatever you have on hand.  That is really all I did :)

Look at all those pretty colors!
Close up of all the yummy goodness!
Farm Fresh Dinner Hash
1.25 lbs ground turkey
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve the grease)
1 lb red potatoes, cubed
1/4 cup water
1 small onion, diced
4 green onions, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped fine
1 TBS fresh thyme, chopped fine
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 lb spinach, chopped
1 bunch of broccoli, cut into florets

  • In a bowl combine diced potatoes and water
  • Cover and cook for 3 minutes on high in the microwave
  • Stir and cook an additional 3 minutes or until tender
  • Drain and set aside
  • In a large skillet brown ground turkey
  • Meanwhile in a medium skillet heat about 1 TBS bacon grease over medium-high heat
  • Add onions, garlic, and red pepper and saute until tender crisp; about 5-7 minutes
  • Set aside
  • When turkey is browned add 2 TBS bacon grease, potatoes, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes or until potatoes are beginning to brown
  • Add sauteed veggies, spinach, and broccoli
  • Cook until spinach is wilted and broccoli is vibrant green, about 5 minutes
This is super easy and incredibly delicious!  It makes a ton, but the leftovers will be great for lunch.  This is such a fun way to use up whatever veggies you have on hand.  Carrots would be good, mushrooms, or even zucchini.  Get creative and have fun!
