Introducing a hearty and satisfying dish that combines the earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes, lean ground turkey, and the vibrant taste of bell peppers and onions. Whether you’re looking for a healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner option, this recipe won’t disappoint. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (your favorite variety)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  2. Add the diced onion and yellow bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground turkey to the other side. Cook the turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s no longer pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine the cooked turkey with the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  5. Top the hash with shredded cheese, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  6. Serve your Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Hash hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Feel free to customize your hash by adding your favorite toppings, such as sliced avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a poached egg for extra richness. Make sure to dice the sweet potatoes into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or your favorite hot sauce. Serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal and enjoy!
