A simple fuss-free, flavorful, one-pot dish made with ground turkey, chopped potatoes, and fresh dill. This is a really basic, everyday weeknight recipe – no-frills, just dills. 😁
Ground Turkey and Potatoes
One-pot recipes (like this and this) are a regular thing here at my house. We usually have some type of protein in the fridge, potatoes in the pantry, and well, when it comes to fresh herbs – it sort of just depends.
Cilantro basically lives here – a full-time resident. Mint is a regular, knows its way around the kitchen. Parsley typically has to request an invite. Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme are always welcome but usually have plans of their own. And Dill? To be totally honest… we sort of forget about Dill until we don’t, you know? It’s just that Dill can be a lot – you need to be in the mood to hang with Dill. 🤷🏽♀️
Well, it turns out our friends Serrano and Garlic loooove Dill. They think Dill’s the real dill – the life of the party. Never a dill moment when the three of them are together. 😉
They really do make for a great team. Spicy serrano, garlicky garlic, bright and grassy dill. Get them together with ground meat and some potatoes and serve ’em over Basmati Rice or Jasmine Rice.
Do that and you’re in for one dill-lightful dish! Enjoy!

I just made this, and it is superb. Easy, quick, and very tasty. The hint of cayenne gives it a nice bite, and the dill adds a nice finish. I’m keeping this recipe to make again. Thank you!

Jenn says
This was delicious and so easy to make! I did add 1 cup of chicken broth towards the end and let simmer covered for a few extra minutes bc I think I cut my potatoes too big and they were being stubborn. Also used dried dill when I added the rest of the spices because I didn’t have fresh. So good! Thank you!
My Heart Beets says

Randhir says
This looks great Ashley. Any suggestions on the ratio or changes to make with the onion masala mix?
Mukta says
Loved this recipe. I dont like dill so substituted with lots of cilantro. But this was my first ever turkey recipe trial at home and everyone liked it!
My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Mukta! Great to know it turned out so well with cilantro 🙂
Hazel says
Hi! Any other vegetable to substitute for the potato? Thanks!
My Heart Beets says
Sweet potato would be great! I’m sure you can use another veggie as well but take it’s cook time into consideration. For example, if you want to use zucchini or another quicker cooking veggie, I’d add that in toward the end in step 3.
Hazel says
Tried this with zucchini added towards the end and it worked very well. Dilli-cious! 🙂
My Heart Beets says
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know how it turned out 🙂
