Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized cubes

1 medium onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

4 large eggs (optional, for a hearty addition)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced sweet potatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and develop a golden crisp on the edges.

    Cook the Turkey: Push the cooked sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty space. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the turkey is browned and no longer pink.

      Add Aromatics: Incorporate the diced onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper into the skillet with the turkey. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

        Season the Hash: Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to ensure the spices evenly coat the mixture. Allow it to cook for another 2 minutes to enhance the flavors.

          Optional Eggs: For those wanting a richer meal, create four small wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 6-8 minutes.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove from the heat. Garnish the hash with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm, and enjoy!

                - Presentation Tips: Serve the hash on individual plates or in shallow bowls, making sure to place an egg in each serving if using. A sprinkle of additional parsley can add a beautiful finishing touch!
