Makes 2 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup 3/4-inch cubes peeled sweet potato
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz lean ground turkey sausage
2 eggs
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup salsa verde (optional)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
How to Make It
- In a medium skillet, cook sweet potato, covered, in hot oil over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add green pepper, paprika, and half the salt. Cook, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes more or until vegetables are just tender, stirring occasionally. Remove vegetables from the skillet; set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, using a spoon to break up sausage as it cooks; drain off any fat if needed. Stir in potato mixture. Push mixture around to create two 3-inch-diameter holes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Carefully crack one egg into each of the holes. Sprinkle eggs with remaining salt and a little black pepper. Cover; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until egg whites are completely set and yolks are to the desired doneness.
- Divide hash and eggs between two serving plates. If desired, top with salsa and cilantro.
