Sweet, savory, and warmly spiced, this one-pan dinner brings together ground turkey, tender apple slices, and fragrant fresh sage in a way that feels both comforting and a little unexpected. The combination of turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, and ginger gives the whole skillet a subtle depth that makes it taste far more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Coconut oil keeps everything naturally dairy-free and grain-free, and the bone broth and apple cider vinegar reduce into a glossy, lightly tangy pan sauce that ties every element together beautifully. For anyone navigating a gluten-free lifestyle, this dish is a genuine win — every single ingredient is naturally free of wheat and gluten, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-squinting required. It all comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying dinner. A scatter of fresh parsley over the top adds a pop of color right before serving, making it look as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

4 servings

1 ½ lb ground turkey
2 tbsp coconut oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium apples (such as honeycrisp or fuji), cored and thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ceylon cinnamon
¾ cup bone broth
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into large crumbles with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion reads 165°F (74°C), about 7–9 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to a plate and set aside.
2
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp coconut oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
