  • 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

  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 Tbsp. water for mixing seasoning

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Separate pan

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Chop them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on. Smaller pieces cook faster.
  2. Dice the yellow onion finely and mince the garlic.
  3. Heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until fragrant.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes to the pan 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 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. Stir everything together well to combine.
  9. Serve the hash by itself, with eggs, or in a salad.
