Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey or turkey mince
2 medium sweet potatoes peeled, diced
½ red bell pepper sliced
½ yellow bell pepper sliced
½ cup kale shredded, optional
1.5 tablespoon olive oil
½ onion diced
2 garlic cloves minced or finely diced
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup chicken stock
¼ cup shredded mozzarella more to preference, optional
pinch salt
pinch black pepper
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small pieces, slice the bell peppers and dice the onion.
Fry the onion and garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes in your skillet.
Tip in the ground turkey (or mince) and separate it into small pieces with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle in the herbs and spices, salt and black pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the turkey has mostly cooked through. Stir occasionally.
Pour in the chicken stock, add the bell pepper and sweet potatoes to the turkey mixture and then place a lid over the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sweet potatoes aren't fork tender, give them a few more minutes with the lid on.
If using (optional) kale or greens, tear into small pieces and add to the skillet. Keep the lid off the skillet and cook the hash for a further couple of minutes to heat the greens through and allow any excess liquid to cook off.
Scatter over the shredded mozzarella (if using), cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Dice the sweet potatoes fairly small so they have a shorter cook time.
Love spice? Add extra if you like!
Be sure to cover the hash after you have added the vegetables as this will help ensure they cook through.
The turkey should be white or brown meat throughout after being cooked, with no pink meat.
Minced turkey, often used in the UK, can also be used in place of ground turkey.
My low histamine readers may wish to use fresh mozzarella rather than shredded.
