Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey breakfast sausage
- 1-1/2 cups sweet potatoes, cubed (~1 large sweet potato)
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
- ½ red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeds removed and finely diced
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Toppings (optional): cilantro, diced green onions, avocado chunks, juice from lime wedges, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, brown the ground turkey sausage on medium heat, and crumble into pieces.
- When the turkey sausage is fully cooked, remove meat from the skillet and set aside.
- Add olive oil to the skillet and saute the red onion and sweet potatoes on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Then stir in the bell peppers, jalapeno and spices (smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt and black pepper). Cook for about 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft.
- Make 4 wells in the hash and crack open an egg into each well.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until eggs are cooked.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese and your desired toppings.
Note: If you don't have an oven friendly skillet, prepare the eggs in a separate pan and add to the hash when full cooked.

The Southwestern Sweet Potato hash looks good. It calls for 1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, cubed. Should the sweet potatoes already be cooked, or should they be raw?

Hi there: The skillet will start the cooking process and the oven will finish it off so throw them in there raw! 🙂
