Yeast 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 caramelized apples, onion, and a fragrant blend of sage, thyme, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon. A splash of bone broth and apple cider vinegar creates a light, glossy pan sauce that ties everything together with just a touch of honey for balance. Avoiding yeast often means scrutinizing store-bought sauces and broths for hidden fermented ingredients, but every component here is straightforward and easy to verify. The apple cider vinegar adds brightness without any yeast-derived additives, and the bone broth keeps the sauce rich and satisfying without relying on anything questionable. Serve it straight from the skillet with a scatter of fresh parsley for a dish that looks and tastes like you spent way more time on it than you did.

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.
