Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 450 g/1 lb ground turkey
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt

Method

- Add the water or stock, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender.
- Uncover and cook for 3 minutes to evaporate excess liquid. Fold in spinach until just wilted.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm.
Serving and Storage
Serve with a fried egg, plain yogurt, or sliced avocado if desired. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days and reheat until steaming hot. Freeze portions without fresh toppings for up to 2 months.
Variations
Replace turkey with chicken, use kale instead of spinach, or add black beans for extra texture. Cut all vegetables to a similar size so they finish together.
FAQ
Can I use frozen sweet potato?
Yes, but it may soften more quickly. Add it after the turkey and reduce the covered cooking time as needed.
How do I prevent a watery hash?
Use only the stated small amount of stock, keep the pan uncovered for the final minutes, and add spinach at the end.
