Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 apples, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
• 12 fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1½ teaspoons sea salt

These simple ingredients come together to create layers of flavor without the need for complicated seasoning.

How to Make Apple AIP Ground Turkey Hash (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.

Step 2: Add Herbs and Ginger

Stir in the minced ginger and chopped sage. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. This step releases the oils in the herbs and builds the base flavor of the dish.

Step 3: Brown the Turkey

Add the ground turkey and sea salt to the skillet. Break the meat apart with a spoon and cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Apples

Fold in the diced apples and drizzle with olive oil. Reduce heat slightly and allow the mixture to cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.

Step 5: Serve or Store

Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve warm straight from the skillet or portion into containers for easy meal prep.

Tips & Variations

• Swap the protein: Ground chicken works just as well if that’s what you have on hand.
• Change the fruit: Pears make a great substitute for apples with a slightly milder sweetness.
• Add veggies: Finely chopped zucchini or spinach can be stirred in at the end for extra greens.
• Crispier texture: Let the hash sit undisturbed for a minute or two before stirring to develop golden bits.

Serving Ideas & Storage

This Apple AIP Ground Turkey Hash is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with roasted vegetables or simple steamed greens. For breakfast-style leftovers, reheat and serve alongside sautéed greens.

Storage:

• Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days
• Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave
