Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

4 large eggs (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sweet potatoes should be tender and develop a lovely golden brown color. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

    Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and the diced red and green bell peppers. Sauté the mixture for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.

      Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Using a spatula, break apart the meat as it cooks. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes or until the turkey is fully cooked through and no longer pink.

        Season: Once the turkey is browned, stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Season with additional salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to fully blend with the mixture.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the previously cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet. Carefully fold them into the turkey and vegetable mix, ensuring all ingredients are evenly combined. Let this mixture cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

            Fry Eggs (Optional): If you choose to add eggs, heat a separate non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, being careful not to overcook the yolks.

              Serve: Spoon generous portions of the savory turkey and sweet potato hash onto plates. If desired, top each serving with a fried egg and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
