Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 lb ground turkey

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

4 large eggs

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado slices (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse under cold water and set aside. This helps to remove any excess starch, resulting in a better texture.

    Cook the Ground Turkey: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground turkey, using a spatula to break it apart. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper if desired. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and fully cooked. Transfer the cooked turkey to a plate and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper, sautéing for approximately 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until it becomes fragrant.

        Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Stir in the diced sweet potatoes into the skillet with the sautéed onions and bell pepper. Combine thoroughly, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for around 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized.

          Combine Ingredients: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, return the ground turkey to the skillet. Mix everything together well and heat until warmed through. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

            Fry the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference (e.g., over-easy or scrambled). This allows for a beautiful yolk to enhance the dish.

              Assembly: On individual plates, serve generous portions of the sweet potato turkey hash. Top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Optionally, add avocado slices on the side for a creamy complement.
