  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
  • salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Step 1

Heat 12" cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp. butter and bacon, and cook until browned and crisped, about 5 minutes. Add onion and peppers, and cook till slightly softened, about 12 minutes. Stir in potatoes, thyme, garlic, and turkey, and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Whisk together stock, cream, worcestershire, hot sauce and sherry, and pour evenly over hash.
