Why You'll Love This Recipe

This Turkey Hash with Sweet Potatoes is a healthier twist on the classic corned beef hash. Made with lean ground turkey and sweet potatoes, it's a healthy dish that's both filling and full of flavor.

You'll love how quick and easy it is to make. I love to eat it with an over-easy egg on top, or on its own for a delicious breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.

It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and perfect for meal prepping. This makes it a great dish to serve when hosting a brunch or for making meals for the week.

Ingredients

This breakfast hash is made with easy-to-find ingredients that you can make any time of the year.

• Ground Turkey: 93% lean ground turkey. You can substitute for ground chicken, beef, or sausage.
• Sweet Potato: One large or two medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½" chunks. You'll want about 1 pound. I usually opt for Jewel or Red Garnet varieties. Read more about selecting and storing sweet potatoes.
• Onion: Half of a small yellow onion, diced.
• Pepper: Red bell pepper, diced. You can use orange or yellow bell peppers. 
• Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil to brown the meat.
• Garlic: 1 clove of garlic, minced.
• Chicken Broth: Low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth.
• Seasoning: A mixture of cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.

How to Make Sweet Potato Turkey Hash

1. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, onions, and peppers. Cook, breaking up the meat until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, cumin, and chili powder. Season with sea salt and pepper.
3. Mix and cover. Lower the heat to low. Cook for 14-16 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender. If there is still liquid in the bottom, remove the lid and cook for a few more minutes to allow the liquid to evaporate.
4. Serve warm and enjoy. Top with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.

Expert Tip: Once the ground turkey, onions, and peppers are cooked, you can drain the excess fat from the pan. However, it isn't necessary.

Variations

• Make it spicy. If you want to give it a kick, add a minced jalapeno, a few dashes of crushed red pepper, or a pinch of cayenne.
• Add some greens. Stir in a few handfuls of chopped fresh spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Stir in more veggies. If you want to add more veggies, try some halved or quartered Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, or corn.
• Make it even heartier. Stir in a can of rinsed and drained black beans.

Serving Suggestions

Turkey Sweet Potato Hash is not only a delicious breakfast dish, it's also great served at a potluck brunch, lunch, or even dinner. Serve it with your favorite eggs, fruit, and toast.

I love to enjoy it with a runny egg on top, like sunny side up or over-easy. It's also great with a poached egg or even scrambled eggs.

Top it with shredded cheese, like Colby jack or cheddar, hot sauce, avocado, and fresh herbs. Chopped parsley and cilantro are great options.

Make Ahead and Storage

Make Ahead: This is the perfect dish for meal prep. Simply make it as written, then allow it to cool a little before placing it in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

To Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

To Reheat: Warm it in a lightly greased skillet over medium-low heat. If needed, add a splash or two of broth to prevent it from drying out. You can also reheat it in the microwave.
