High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Apple & Sage Turkey Skillet

This skillet is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more special than the effort it takes — savory ground turkey, sweet-tart apple slices, and a fragrant blend of sage, thyme, and warm spices all coming together in one pan. The sauce gets its gentle sweetness from real honey and apple cider vinegar rather than any processed sweetener, so you know exactly what you're eating without having to squint at a label. That matters more than it sounds, because high fructose corn syrup has a way of sneaking into broths, condiments, and bottled sauces that seem totally innocent at first glance. Here, bone broth and a splash of apple cider vinegar build a pan sauce that's rich, slightly tangy, and completely clean. Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger give the whole dish a cozy, almost autumnal warmth that plays beautifully against the savory turkey and caramelized onion. Everything finishes in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy dinner. A scatter of fresh parsley over the top pulls it all together and makes it look like you really tried.

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.
