Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 large carrots (peeled and diced)
• 2 large celery stalks (diced)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 large russet potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear them on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook and crumble the meat until it is fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the mixture with 2 tablespoons of flour and stir well, ensuring the flour is evenly distributed. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, along with the chopped rosemary, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

While the chicken and turkey simmer, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the chunked potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to the pot.

Step 8

Add butter and milk to the potatoes, then mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Step 9

After 25 minutes of simmering, stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the peas are heated through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning of the chicken and turkey mixture as needed.

Step 11

To serve, spoon a generous portion of the mashed potatoes onto each plate. Ladle the chicken and turkey mixture over the potatoes, ensuring each serving includes plenty of the rich broth and vegetables.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy your comforting Kristen's Chicken Turkey Dinner!
