Ground Turkey, Potato, Tomato thing

Ingredients
  • 1 large potato
  • 3 tbs oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 7 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb. Ground Turkey (or hamberger)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced

    Directions
  • Start by slicing up the potato into quarters (lengthwise) then into 1/4 inch slices
  • Brown potatoes in oil, in a large skillet, on both sides
  • Remove potatoes from pan and place in bowl for later (leave oil in the pan)
  • In same pan w/ remaining oil, saute the onions & garlic
  • Add the ground turkey to the pan (breaking up and browning)
  • Mix in the cayenne pepper and soy sauce
  • Mix in the diced tomatoes
  • Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates (e.g. all you can see of the tomato is little rolled up pieces of its skin)
  • Turn off heat and add the potatoes back into the mixture

    Tastes great over rice... and... if you have any leftovers the next day, it makes for a great omelet filling or... just frying it up w/ scrambled eggs for a nice torta...
