Ground turkey gets a serious upgrade here, cooked in coconut oil and tossed with sweet apple slices, fresh sage, and a warm spice blend of turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. The combination sounds unexpected, but it comes together in one skillet into something genuinely craveable — savory, a little sweet, and deeply aromatic. A splash of bone broth and apple cider vinegar deglaze the pan and reduce into a light, glossy sauce that ties every element together beautifully. Soy has a way of sneaking into packaged broths, seasoning blends, and even some cooking oils, which makes a dish like this such a relief to cook. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, from the coconut oil to the honey, so there's no label-squinting required. The whole thing 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 it straight from the pan for a weeknight meal that feels a little special without any extra effort.

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.
