How to Make Turkey Hash
Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the potatoes and sprinkle generously with Season All. Cook, stirring often, until potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Add the chopped turkey, turkey gravy, and more Season All to taste.

Store leftover Turkey Hash in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating on the stovetop until heated through.
Recipe Notes
- This is also a great basic hash recipe that you can adapt to what you have on hand. To make a delicious beef hash, use leftover beef roast or ground beef and a can of beef gravy instead of turkey. You can also use ground turkey throughout the year with canned turkey gravy.
- Instead of gravy, you can use chicken broth or something similar.
- If you can’t find hash browns with onions and peppers, chop fresh onions and peppers and add them to your recipe separately.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of minced garlic.
- Instead of cubed hash browns, you can use cubed potatoes if you have some leftovers as well. If using actual potatoes, boil them first for about 5 minutes before dicing then add them to the skillet to make crispy potatoes.
- Instead of Season All, use your preferred seasoning. This tastes delicious with Italian seasoning or dried herbs like rosemary, oregano, and thyme. Season All is made of paprika, black pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and a hint of chili powder if you want to use a combination of those spices you can make your own homemade version.
- The true spirit of hash is that you can add anything to the skillet. So if you have extra vegetables or greens you want to use up, dice them up and toss them in. Have leftover stuffing? Add a cup or so to your Turkey Hash.
Recipe FAQs
What is turkey hash made of?
Turkey Hash was created to use up leftovers. It’s typically a combination of chopped meat, potatoes, and fried onions. It’s sometimes also called potato hash, which is the same dish, just a different name.
How do you serve Turkey Hash?
With potatoes, vegetables, and chopped meat, Turkey Hash is the perfect main meal as is. However, I love serving it for breakfast with crispy bacon strips and eggs (whether they’re poached, scrambled, or fried eggs). You can also add a garnish of chopped chives, green onion, or fresh parsley.

Add 1/2 a cup of dried cranberries or cranberry sauce to your hash to make turkey cranberry hash.

Yummy. TY. Even with just cooking a turkey breast we have lots of leftovers between just the two of us. this is gonna be great. I’m gonna put some of the breast in the freezer so I can make this a few weeks later too.
I will definitely be making this after Thanksgiving.
I hope you enjoy it Susan. Y’all have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!!
Oh MY! Sounds delicious!!! I will try to get my sister to gift me with some leftover turkey next week so that I can try this the day after!!!
I don’t add the gravy- I just pass it since some like a lot & some don’t like much ( or any). Friend’s son wraps it in a tortilla!
I made has in much the same way but I had left over chuck steak and Ore Ida hash browns. I add catsup and Worcestershire, sautéed onion sometimes a little cheese. Then fried eggs on top. I will be trying your version and probably add a fried egg or two.
Oh Karla, your version sounds good too!!
