Sweet, savory, and warmly spiced, this one-pan skillet is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more special than the effort it requires. Ground turkey gets browned in coconut oil until perfectly cooked, then reunited with tender Honeycrisp apple slices, caramelized onion, and a fragrant blend of sage, thyme, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. A quick pan sauce made from bone broth, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey pulls everything together into something genuinely craveable. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no need to swap anything out or scrutinize labels — it's just clean, whole-food cooking from the start. The apple and sage combination is a classic pairing for good reason: the fruit's natural sweetness balances the earthiness of the herbs and the gentle heat of the spices in a way that feels almost autumnal no matter the season. Serve it straight from the skillet with a scatter of fresh parsley and dinner is done.

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.
