Pistachio Free Apple & Sage Turkey Skillet

This skillet is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more special than the effort it requires. Ground turkey gets cooked until golden and crumbly, then reunited with tender apple slices, caramelized onion, and a fragrant blend of sage, thyme, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon — a combination that smells absolutely incredible as it comes together. A splash of bone broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey reduces into a light pan sauce that ties everything together with a savory-sweet depth you'll want to eat straight from the skillet. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is a genuinely satisfying option — every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, with no hidden blends or specialty products to second-guess. The apple and sage pairing is a classic for good reason, and the warm spices give it an almost autumnal quality that works any time of year. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end keeps it bright and a little restaurant-worthy without any extra fuss.

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.
