Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small, even 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 (optional, for a touch of heat)

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

4 large eggs (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Cook Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes, season generously with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing them to soften and develop a delightful golden-brown crust.

    Add Vegetables: Once the sweet potatoes are nearly tender, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are tender and aromatic.

      Cook Turkey: Create a space in the skillet by pushing the vegetable mixture to one side. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the vacant area and then introduce the ground turkey. Use a spatula to break up the meat and stir as it cooks. Cook until the turkey is browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.

        Season: Once the turkey is fully cooked, mix it in with the vegetables. Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder (if using). Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and freshly ground pepper to your taste. Cook everything together for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to merge beautifully.

          Optional Eggs: If you wish to top the hash with eggs, create four small wells in the mixture. Crack one egg into each well, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cook a few minutes longer.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the hash with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm, enjoying this hearty dish either with or without the eggs!
