Ingredients
Instructions
1. 1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Start by peeling and dicing your sweet potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Dice the yellow onion and red bell pepper to a similar size, and mince the garlic. Consistent sizing helps everything cook evenly.
2. 2. Brown the Turkey: Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large, oven-safe skillet (cast iron works wonderfully here) over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until it’s fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
3. 3. Saute the Aromatics and Vegetables: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent.
4. 4. Add Sweet Potatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to combine. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon or two of water or broth to help steam the sweet potatoes.
5. 5. Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the hash is cooking, whisk the eggs with the unsweetened almond milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
6. 6. Add Eggs and Finish Cooking: Once the sweet potatoes are tender, create a few small wells in the hash mixture in the skillet. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash. You can gently swirl it around to distribute the eggs. Cover the skillet again and cook on medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired firmness. Alternatively, if your skillet is oven-safe, you can transfer it to a preheated oven at 375 F (190 C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
7. 7. Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful breakfast hash!
