Plantain Hash With Leftover Turkey (Video)

Plantain Hash with Leftover Turkey is a super fun way to transform holiday leftovers.

Plantain Hash with Leftover Turkey

Ingredients

• 1 slice raw bacon, cut into small pieces
• 1 plantain (on the green side)
• 1 onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 jalapeno
• 8oz cooked chicken or turkey meat
• jucie of one lime
• 1 handful of cilantro

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the cut-up bacon.

While the bacon renders, peel and chop the plantain. Add it to the skillet with a pinch of salt. Toss.

While the plantain cooks, dice the onion. Add it to the skillet and toss.

Repeat this process with the bell pepper and jalapeno, adding a small pinch of salt each time.

Once the vegetables all soften a little and the plantains begin to caramelize, add the turkey and toss.

Squeeze the juice of one lime into the skillet and toss, giving all the flavors another good chance to merge.

Chop some fresh cilantro and top the skillet.

Enjoy!

Notes

• If you struggle to cut bacon with your crappy knives like I do, the easiest way to it is with kitchen shears.
• I like the plantains on the greener side, but if yours are more yellow, that works too. I’d just add them after the onion and peppers as they wouldn’t have to cook as long. The dish would be sweeter also, which is offset by the jalapeno and any hot sauce you may add. 
• I use the method of cutting as I go with this dish to give each vegetable time to sit in the skillet and begin to caramelize. Don’t over toss. There’s a ton of flavor in those brown specs. 
• Don’t have leftover turkey? Just about any leftover protein would be a tasty substitute! 
• If you don’t have fresh lime juice, a squirt or two of bottled is fine. 
• I served with a drizzle of sriracha. Delish!
