LEFTOVER TURKEY HASH

Category: Turkey

2 small russet potatoes (about 11 ounces)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 medium red, yellow and green bell pepper, chopped (about 1 cup each)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 stalk celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
8 cups cooked turkey breast, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Place potatoes in small saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until potatoes are barely tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature; peel and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add peppers, onion and celery; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add salt, pepper and cayenne. Continue cooking, uncovered, until vegetables are lightly golden and tender, about 3 minutes longer. Remove vegetables from skillet. Increase heat to high; melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in skillet. Add potatoes and cook until golden brown. Reduce heat to medium; add turkey and reserved vegetables. Cook until turkey is heated through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Makes 8 servings.

Notes: Eight cups of turkey seemed like a lot of leftovers, so I halved this recipe. Up the amount of cayenne if you like things spicy.
