Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Fried eggs for topping

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.

    Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked. Season with smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

      Add the Veggies: To the skillet with the turkey, add the chopped onion, garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.

        Combine with Sweet Potatoes: Add the pre-cooked sweet potatoes into the skillet with the turkey mixture. Gently stir everything together and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to caramelize slightly and absorb the flavors.

          Final Touches: Taste your hash and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you like it spicy, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce.

            Serve: Spoon the turkey and sweet potato hash onto plates. If desired, top with a fried egg for extra richness. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh parsley before serving.
