Macadamia Free Apple & Sage Turkey Skillet

Sweet, savory, and warmly spiced, this one-pan skillet is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more special than the effort required. Ground turkey gets browned in coconut oil until perfectly cooked through, then reunited with tender apple slices, caramelized onion, and a fragrant blend of sage, thyme, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. The bone broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey come together into a light pan sauce that ties every element into something genuinely craveable. What makes this dish so satisfying is the balance — the natural sweetness of Honeycrisp or Fuji apples plays beautifully against the earthy herbs and that subtle warm-spice backbone. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess what's hiding in a sauce packet. It all comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve straight from the pan for a meal that looks 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.
