★ Tips & FAQs ★
What's the best skillet to use for this recipe?
This dish can be made in large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet.
If you don't already own one, a cast iron skillet is great for this type of dish. The cast iron helps hold in heat so your potatoes will cook more evenly and will get a bit more flavor than using a nonstick skillet. They even come preseason and with free shipping (important because they are heavy!)
Tip: If using a cast iron skillet, you may need to add extra oil as needed. Turkey is low in fat so you won't get that natural nonstick barrier like you would with beef.
You may even want to consider going half turkey and half beef for this reason or for a different flavor.

That's a great idea, Twyla. I'm going to see if we can make that feature a possibility. Thanks for the feedback! You can post it to The Might Mrs. Facebook page for now if you want. I'd love to see it!

Hey, Terri! Thanks for the feedback. I like your idea of adding the herbs earlier to meld the flavors a bit more. Good point about all the chopping. It may be mindless but it does take time. I think if you cut the potatoes small enough you could cook them in the pan. I'm just impatient and like my potatoes super mushy on the inside and crispy on the outside so I boiled them first. =) So glad you enjoyed this dish. I have a couple other ground turkey recipes and a potato recipe I thought you might like to try sometime:
Aloo Gobi Indian Style Potatoes
Turkey Manicotti
Turkey Stuffed Peppers

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was amazing! Really good! I put the feta on the side for people to add if they wanted. It's good with the feta, but the flavors are so nice, I almost like it better without (the feta covers up those nice flavors a bit). I did add the chopped herbs a little earlier so they could simmer briefly--seemed to me the flavors would meld better. I would say, though, that while it is an "easy" dish, it's still time consuming. Lots of chopping, along with having to cook the potatoes two different ways in separate pans before adding. But really worth it!
