Equipment
- 1 medium-large skillet Cast-iron or heavy stainless steel preferred for crisping your sweet potatoes
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula Perfect for breaking up the ground turkey and scrambling the eggs in the center
- Measuring cup and spoons
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Lean Ground Turkey 8 oz—exactly half a standard store pack
- 1 cup Frozen Cubed Sweet Potatoes
- 1 Giant Handful Fresh Baby Spinach
- 1 Large Egg can use 2 if preferred
- 1/3 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil extra virgin olive oil can be used, just keep the heat to medium instead of medium-high
- 1/4 heaping tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 heaping tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 heaping tsp Salt
Instructions
- Heat your avocado oil in a medium-large skillet over medium-high heat. Dump in your 1 cup of frozen sweet potatoes and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly crisped on the edges.
- Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add your 1/2 lb of ground turkey into the empty side, breaking it up with your wooden spoon. Sprinkle your garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the whole pan, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the turkey is fully browned.
- Stir the turkey and sweet potatoes completely together. Add your spinach straight on top and stir gently for 45 seconds until the leaves wilt right into the hot hash.
- Push the hash mixture to the outer edges of your skillet, creating an open circle right in the center. Crack your egg(s) straight into that empty center and use your spatula to quickly scramble them for about 60 seconds until light, fluffy, and fully cooked. Immediately toss the fluffy egg strands directly into the surrounding hash until combined.
- Scoop what you need for this morning's portion into a small section of the pan, top it with your shredded mozzarella cheese, and pop a lid on for 60 seconds until completely melted and gooey. Transfer the remaining unsauced hash into your airtight storage container for the fridge.
