Main Ingredients
  • 1 lbs. lean ground turkey (93/7)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes chopped into bite-sized pieces, skin on
  • 1/2 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup water for simmering potatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • to taste Salt and fresh cracked pepper
Turkey Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 Tbsp. water for seasoning mix

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Separate pan

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Chop them into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on. Smaller pieces cook faster.
  2. Dice the yellow onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
  3. Heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the skillet with the garlic and onion. Add 1/4 cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, cover the pan, and simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir the potatoes often to prevent burning.
  6. While the potatoes cook, cook the ground turkey in a separate pan over medium heat until it is fully cooked.
  7. Mix the cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and nutmeg in a small dish with 1 Tbsp. of water. Add this seasoning mix to the cooked turkey and stir to coat the meat evenly.
  8. Add the seasoned turkey to the skillet with the potatoes and stir everything together to combine.
  9. Serve the hash by itself, with eggs, or over a salad.
