Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover turkey, chopped
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup green beans, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon thyme
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping turkey into bite-sized pieces, dicing potatoes into small cubes, and finely chopping green beans and onions.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and becomes fragrant.
- Add diced onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add diced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them in an even layer. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes to allow potatoes to develop a crispy golden-brown crust.
- Stir potatoes and onions, then add chopped green beans. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
- Incorporate chopped leftover turkey into the skillet, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
- Sprinkle thyme, salt, and pepper over the hash, stirring to ensure even seasoning.
- Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, occasionally stirring, until turkey is heated through and all ingredients are well combined and slightly crispy.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or a fried egg if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables and turkey ahead of time. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
- Crispy Potatoes: For extra crispy potatoes, make sure to spread them evenly in the skillet and resist the urge to stir too often during the initial cooking phase.
- Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices! Rosemary or sage can add a delightful twist to the flavor profile.
- Add Extra Veggies: If you have other leftover vegetables from your holiday feast, toss them in! Carrots, bell peppers, or even corn can add more color and nutrition to your hash.
- Serve with Style: Elevate your dish by topping it with a fried or poached egg. The runny yolk adds a rich creaminess that complements the crispy hash beautifully.
- Storage: Leftover hash can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for best results.
