Ingredients:
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed 
1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered (Yukon gold or red potatoes) 
6 slices turkey bacon, chopped 
1 small onion, finely chopped 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix 
2 tbsp olive oil 
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional) 
Salt and pepper to taste 
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Boil the potatoes: In a large pot of salted water, boil the halved or quartered potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside. 
Cook the turkey bacon: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped turkey bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate. 
Sauté the onion and garlic: In the same skillet with the leftover bacon fat, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. 
Cook the green beans: Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the green beans for 5-6 minutes until they start to become tender but still crisp. 
Add the ranch seasoning and potatoes: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the green beans and stir to coat. Add the cooked potatoes, thyme (if using), and stir to combine everything. Let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to let the flavors blend. 
Combine with bacon: Stir in the crispy turkey bacon and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. 
Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious country-style green beans and potatoes with turkey bacon!
