Week 33: Recipe #5--Turkey and Potato Skillet

This recipe was delicious!  I found this on Pinterest, and it comes from a site called The Lovely Pantry (see link below).  I will definitely be making this again (in the near future!).  We all loved it.  I followed the recipe exactly, and it was super easy to make.  Most of the ingredients are pantry staples, so it's easy to throw together on a busy weeknight.  I served this with fresh fruit.  Makes 6 servings.
