Ingredients

For the Hash:

– 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more as needed)

– 1 lb ground turkey (or turkey sausage/chorizo for extra flavor; or ~1.5–2 cups diced leftover roast turkey) add some tallow for a juicier cook

– 1–2 medium sweet potatoes (about 4–5 cups diced small)

– 1/2 bell pepper (any color), diced

– 1 small–medium yellow onion, diced

– 2 ribs celery, diced (optional)

– 2–3 packed cups kale (Lacinato or curly), stems removed and chopped

– 2–4 rashers bacon or turkey bacon, diced (optional, for extra savoriness)

– 4–5 tbsp chicken or pork stock or water (divided)

– Spices: A pinch – 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp Ancho chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, ½–1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp honey, garlic (optional), and salt & black pepper to taste

For the Poached Eggs (jammy yolks):

– 2 (per person) large pasture-raised eggs (room temperature is best)

– 1 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

– Water for poaching

For Serving/Garnish (optional but recommended):

– Sliced avocado

– Chopped fresh chives, parsley, or cilantro

– Hot sauce

– Freshly cracked black pepper and flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the sweet potatoes:Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Dice sweet potatoes into even ~½-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder or paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway, until tender and crispy at the edges.

2. Cook the hash:

– Heat 1–2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet (cast iron works great) over medium heat. If using bacon, cook it first until browned but not crisp; remove and set aside.

– Add ground turkey (or sausage). Cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through (~8–12 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and spices. If using leftover roast turkey, add it later to warm through. Drain excess fat if needed.

– Add diced onion, bell pepper, and celery (if using). Cook 3–5 minutes until softening. Add roasted (or raw diced) sweet potatoes and a splash of stock/water. Cover and cook 3–5 minutes until potatoes are tender and everything starts to crisp.

– Stir in chopped kale and remaining stock. Cook 1–2 minutes until kale wilts but stays bright green. Fold in cooked bacon/turkey if separate. Taste and adjust seasoning. Keep warm on low heat.

3. Poach the eggs for jammy yolks:

– Bring a large saucepan or deep skillet of water to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer (small bubbles). Add 1 tbsp vinegar.

– Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle vortex in the water with a spoon and gently slide the egg in. Poach 1–2 eggs at a time.

– For “jammy yolks” (set whites, soft and creamy yolk): Simmer ~6 minutes. Adjust the time upward based on egg size/freshness—start checking at 4 minutes.

– Remove with a slotted spoon to a small bowl, season to taste, and cover with a plate. Repeat. (Pro tip: Fresh eggs poach best; in older ones, the whites spread more.)

4. Assemble and serve: Divide the warm hash among pasta bowls. Top each with 1–2 poached eggs. Garnish with avocado slices, other sides, herbs, hot sauce, and seasoning.

Tips & Variations

– Make it more vegetarian: Skip turkey and add black beans, seasoned quinoa, and mushrooms.

– Shortcuts: Use pre-roasted veggies or fully cooked turkey and quick sauté with fresh curly kale. Hash stores well in the fridge for 2 days; reheat and top with fresh eggs.

– Egg cooking style alternatives: If poaching feels tricky, fry over-easy or soft-boil in the shell for similar jammy results.

– Nutrition boost: High in protein, fiber, vitamins from kale/sweet potato, and healthy fats. Add mushrooms or an additional protein choice like sirloin tips or salmon instead of bacon-type cuts.

Enjoy!
