Pregnancy Friendly Apple & Sage Turkey Skillet
Ground turkey cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F is the backbone of this cozy one-pan meal, making it a genuinely reassuring choice when you're being extra careful about food safety. The apples bring a natural sweetness that plays beautifully against the savory sage and thyme, while warm spices like turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon give the whole skillet a gentle, fragrant depth. Bone broth forms the base of a light pan sauce that ties everything together without any heavy cream or complicated techniques. The apple cider vinegar and a touch of honey round out the flavors so the dish feels bright and balanced rather than heavy — exactly what you want when your appetite can be unpredictable. Everything comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and a dinner that actually feels doable on a tired evening. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a little freshness that makes it look as good as it tastes.

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.

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.
