Ground Turkey Skillet with Potato & Peas

Good morning and happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a great weekend so far!

I have a question for you – what do you find yourself cooking a lot of on the weekends or your days off? We definitely like to load up on cooking dishes so it lasts us the first few days of the week. Some savory, a soup, dessert… a few things at least. Call it a meal plan or just a love of cooking on the weekends. And maybe loving my weekend self come Monday when I’m wondering what to eat for dinner. Whatever the reason, I think you’ll find this recipe a good one to add into your rotation.

This recipe uses lots of pantry ingredients and just a few fresh ones so it’s an easy one to make when you’re in a pinch. It cooks up in 30 minutes and most of that is hands-off time. It’s full of delicious ingredients and tastes super fresh! You’ll definitely enjoy making and eating this one.

Let me know what you love cooking on the weekends and maybe I’ll make it next! Happy cooking!
