Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix turkey, potatoes, and onions in a bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat clarified butter in a 7‑inch frypan until it begins to brown.
- Stir in paprika.
- Add the turkey mixture, pressing it firmly into the pan.
- Cover and reduce heat to medium.
- Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until edges brown, adding more butter if needed.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms into the turkey mixture. If you don't have clarified butter, regular butter works too, but be cautious of burning. For a healthier twist, you can substitute some of the turkey with shredded vegetables, or even use leftover turkey from recipes like Cornish Hens With Mushroom Stuffing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the browned turkey hash with a side of scrambled eggs or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Strawberry Tropical Salad for a refreshing contrast. Garnish with additional parsley for color and flavor, and consider adding hot sauce for those who enjoy a kick.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, adding a little butter if necessary to prevent sticking and to enhance flavor.
